Definitely one of the stronger albums in this particular style. The first four songs and "Winds Of War" are classic Helstar material and rest of the album isn't too shabby either.

WOW! I did not remember how excellent this album is, the band gives everything all the way through. The Scorpions cover is a bit unnecessary but other than that all songs have their place. Winds of War is the obvious highlight, power metal excellence in it's purest form.

The King is Dead is Top 1000 Metalsongs material!

But there are a lot of good songs on this. It´s one of Helstars best records!
