Ah, finally, the long anticipated comeback with Rob halford has been recorded and released! A good thing, right? Well, yes and no. This actually has a few very good strong points (some riffs and vocals) on the noteworthy songs 'Worth fighting for' and 'Hellrider'. But Drummer for over a decade Scott Travis did lay it on a little thick with the double bass Euro power metal style. not that it's a bad thing but it can become old after two songs or so. Somewhat staying with their old style (pretty much vocals only), they went for a much more Hammerfall-ish sound with this release, adopting a few qualities from some well known melodic bands of today here and there. In all it's not really a horrible release, but also nothing to get too excited about, just typical and what one could expect. Surely worth picking up if your a Priest or power metal head.
