★★★☆ This album is pretty frickin’ sweet! It’s one long excuse for unbridled shredding. And battleaxes. I mean, I could draw all kinds of comparisons to this one — Racer X, Manowar, Revocation, even DragonForce — but that’s just me talking to your brain, when in fact your heart is going to want to hear this.
