Fairly unknown german outfit that only released this record before they disappeared again. A nice Fantasy-cover demands immediate attention, showing a hawk trying to steal a golden ring from a bloody fist. This is misleading, not rough Speed or Power Metal is immortalized on this vinyl, but typical Heavy Metal with a strong AOR touch. Some tracks offer pure Heavy Rock with quite nice refrains (>Born to Fly<), others are more powerful and heavy as the title-track, or the epic >Goddess of the Dark<. The melody-lines are all good (for example listen to the catchy >Nowhere to Go<), the vocals are pleasent and so this record will be a good catch if you're not only into Power Metal or beyond. I have not seen the album in any list since years, so the value is totally estimated.
Concluding I recommend this pretty nice record to people like my metal-brother Stefan from the glorious Metalpage who also adore Heavy Music that does not cause total destruction in the neighbourhood.
