4 stars Since first time this cd was in my player I enjoyed the performance of excellent musicians and the stunning vocalist. Varied and never boring stuff, from fast paced metal ("Noose") to Spanish guitar and rhythms ("Just a little")! All songs are good, but some of my favs are "Heal the waters", "Torn" [note the incredible fretless(?) bass on the background], "Resurrection" (vocals remember me Mr. Coverdale!), "Walking hour" (vocals a la Tony Martin - Black Sabbath). Even the popish or mainstream material like "Feed the fire" and parts of "Missing you" are good and not boring songs. Very good and varied drums, unlike most of metal and even some "prog metal" bands. Excellent guitar and the keyboards are only for the atmosphere, without excesses, what I think is good (see the excesses of keys in DT or DT clone bands.). It is a wonder that nobody above have pointed out the terrific bass work of Randy Coven: most of time sounding like fretless bass. Please, listen to the bass on this cd! Buy without fear!
