The 13th album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
One guest added violin on one track.
The band returned again after a short break.
The imagery here reminds me a lot of their 1985 classic album On A Storyteller's Night. I am not the only reviewer who has made this comparison. That may be intented by the band.... or perhaps not.
This album is clocking in at just over one hour and the music is indeed a bit of a return to that 1985 album.
The music is a lot harder here and a lot more like classic Iron Maiden. The music is still classic Magnum. That reminds me why this band got my attention forty years ago.. I thought they were a band like Iron Maiden. I was wrong...
Anyway.. The music is also epic and very much a pomp rock album. The AOR influences has largely gone on this album.
There is a lot of good hooks and themes here. The guitars are really good too.
This makes this a fairly good album and their best album for over twenty years. Yes, since that 1985 classic album. Check out this album.
