One of the greatest U.S Power Metal bands ever!! This is a killer album with plenty of time changes and melody hooks. Ripping vocals by James Rivera and a must for Priest & Maiden fans. Any Helstar fans reading this please get in touch. friday13th@robhalford.com

Would have to agree with the above review by friday 13th. This cd is filled with classic American power metal topped with the soaring, searing vocals of James Rivera. This would be the last album the band would release before taking on a more aggressive speed metal style. "He's A Woman, She's a Man" is a Scorpions cover.

I'm gonna agree that this is one of the greatest discs ever.I had the chance to hang out with James in TX during the Destinys End show in Houston,and also got to watch the re-united Helstar at their practice hall before the re-union shows in 2000.James is a god !!
