Nevertheless, this album is a faithful melodic metal outlet. It's surprisingly easy listening and familiar riff. Rob Rock voices actually made most of the song even "standard" tunes in metal. Stuff like the second theme riff of Feel the Fire is actually really generic but the a class one. Return to the Sky is powerful opening act with its arpeggio intro. We then presented by five catchy song from Rising Son to Cry of the Wounded, which is all excellent tunes, great riff great song writing. Always on My Mind is the only slow song and then another four metal track to make up a total of 11 tunes we have here.
Those who missed Rob Rock in the last three years will found this album absolutely stunning welcome back of Rob Rock. RR had been with Impelliterri in both their solo albums and this collaboration with Roy Z give you some different feel. Band member Reynold Carlson, their original Driver's drummer provide prime beat for them, backed with bassist Aaron Samson and Ed Roth in bass and keyboards. Especially the bass line are also brave enough to be in pair with the guitar, in One of favorite underrated metal album in 2012.
