It's a good one Ult. Quite hooky with a nice variety of tempos and heaviness. It's probably my favorite Saxon since Killing Ground which I absolutely loved. I didn't mention in the review but Don Airey is on keys for one of the tracks and two of the songs will appear on a movie soundtrack. The length is also perfect for a vinyl issue so let's hope that makes it over to the US too. |

| I have the Euro version with the bonus disc and also on vynal and on vynal it sounds so good. This one reminds me of "Unleash The Beast" in parts but overall it's their best in 15 years.

| I think this is their strongest effort in a very long time. Most Saxon albums tends to have some filler, but this is a very solid listen which hoilds your attention throughout. I might just need to spin it again  |

| Album of the year. This is the culmination of the last decade of cranking out solid releases. It's a grower for sure. The first spin, it's great, and it only gets better each listen. They basically recreated Denim and Leather here.
Easily their best album since their renaissance in the mid 90's. |
