I won't lie, this track shows how much the band has done to make Iron Maiden and Judas Priest proud and the potential to share those bands' reign in the 80s classic heavy metal scene. I also look forward to reviewing that Virgin Steele album a couple posts above...

A great part of an album that proves how conceptual metal operas work away from the progressive metal field and add to the epic vibe of power metal...
