The main difference is a more epic approach to the songs (especially on the aforementioned “Stone Age Warrior”, “Fighting For The Cross” and “Ballad of the Green Berets”) as the influence of early Manowar and Manilla Road comes forth. Its chorus haunts you for days and the follow-up tracks are of the same caliber and level.

The title track that opens the album paves the way for what we are about to receive and that’s nothing less than a heavy dose of US Metal wonderfully mixed with the European Maiden-esque tradition. I remember vividly the day when the band’s guitarist, Manolis Karazeris, sent me a while ago one of the new songs called “Stone Age Warrior” and I was absolutely blown away! It seemed that the 5-year hiatus was about to end in a grandiose way and if this song was an indicating factor we would be in for a big and pleasant surprise! In the meantime the guys released a single and a split album but in all reality what we have all been waiting for was the sophomore effort.

5 years passed since the day Dexter Ward unleashed its excellent debut album “Neon Lights” which left both fans and critics under the best impressions.
