Great album full of excellent dark rock songs. Most songs already were on a couple of 7″ but it’s great to hear them on one album now.
Thanks for the safe shipping and especially for having it signed by Rob.

Wesley, thanks a lot for your comment! Actually, the 7-inch recordings are completely different from the album versions. Only “Summer Ends” and “End of the Night” was released previously, but as streaming singles. Anyway, nice to see you dig the album. Cheers! //Dennis

This is a great album with a wide spectrum of underground musical influences that makes for a genuine and diverse listening experience and therefore extremely thrilling to listen to. It certainly never gets repetetive or leaves you bored. It also has a wide range of sonic 80s references; nodding to Sisters of Mercy but at the same time channeling Danzig. Frankly it’s just filled to the brim with really strong songs, such as “End of the Night” (that 80’s AOR vibe and vocal melodies!) and “Summer Ends” (that tough riff and the bare drum sound!). Other favourites are “Passage” (that chorus and that choir!) and “Blood Moon Rise” (a pure gothic rock hit that should get heavy airplay!). I also very much like the feel of the album versions of the two songs that was previously released as a 7″. All in all a very solid effort musically, not to mention Rob’s fantastic vocal delivery.
As usual very fast and safe shipping, thank you, Dennis!

Place 10 in my overall 2020 list. First I wasn’t into this Band knowing and loving the solo stuff (MMF 2014 great show + parking lot “private show”). But this music kept growing and the first time I heard the full album I know it was meant to be mine!
The tip of the iceberg: The cover reminds me of Dark Souls 2 Heide’s Tower of Flame

Been waiting a long time for it to arrived at my door, but was totally worth the wait. What a great album !! I would wait the same amount of time all over again to be as excited a second time.
Cheers to underground fire and critical mass !
