Congrats! You've found your way to a very obscure band, one of which there is next to no information available. Even the liner notes on the CD release are spotty at best. All of the information I could find is that the song "Crazy Horses" was well liked by Donny Osmond and featured on his television show. Though a positive review by Osmond doesn't exactly boost one's metal credibility, this album is really a lost gem.

Quite an original release, I've never heard an album that sounds at all like it. The first three tracks alone were worth tracking the album down, in particular "Metal Ships" which would be a standout track on any band's album, but features inventive guitar work and a very unique sound.

Vocalist Sine Ryka is master of the craft, holding the album together and putting forth a legendary performance. Any band would be delighted to feature such a versatile and talented performer. Eric the Bastard is an excellent guitar player, and Peter Chichon (looking much like Paul Stanley in his album photo) and Alan Fish are certainly no slouches either.

The album's production gives it a very warm and atmospheric sound, and a definite reference point to any band looking to make their album sound like it was broadcast from a distant star.

Most likely a victim of poor distribution, lack of promotion and the obvious numbers game, with some exposure this band could have been mentioned with the greats of English metal. As it stands, this album is well worth tracking down if you've heard the scratchy real audio files on Steve Cannon's Vibrations of Doom website. My ranking would have been higher for this album if all of the songs maintained the same energy as the first few, but are by no measure bad songs. This album deserves a second look by any dedicated metal fan, and has a high replay value. Enjoy!
