A review by

So, what we have here is straight-in-your-face Heavy Metal, with a lot influences from the NWOBHM, everything is here, and the best of it's expositors, a hint of Judas priest, a little of Rainbow, a dash of Dio, and we have ourselves a nice recipe of Tarot!
But what really impressed me about this album was the vocals of Marco Hietala, there are truly something, really aggressive sounding. It really levels up the whole experience. From the opener track 'I Rule' [nice title!] you know that this guy is going to tear apart his vocal chords just to please you! Other stand-out tracks are the killer 'Pyre Of The Gods', 'Follow The Blind' and 'From The Shadows' [this one have a really funny cowboy-like intro]
I?ve been listening this album for a while now, and I think that the main difference between Tarot and other heavy Metal acts is that Tarot don's want happy riffs and joyful choruses, they want to be aggressive, and this gives the music a darker edge, call it Dark Heavy Metal if you want, it wouldn's be the first time that a whole new genre has been invented to name the particular style of a band, this is a good album, nice listen, I?ll recommend it to fans of traditional Heavy Metal only, I know there's a lot of you out there! If you are into more harder stuff, like me, just go straight and don's even look at this one.
