Album Information[]

When giving all the insight on the album, Piet Sielck gave a brief explanation as needed:

"As usual, the new album was recorded and produced in my own Powerhouse Studio. So, what can be expected? A full dose of first-class, heavy music; power metal to the max! We’ve got one really big surprise for you all though, and so far, it’s just been known as ‘The Surprise Track’….. We recently did a cover version of Mando Diao’s “Dance With Somebody” and, whatever works is allowed, right? Originally it was recorded only as a bonus track for the limited edition, but we simply liked it so much that we finally decided to make it a regular album track…..”
