Three day recording by Firewind member Bob Katsionis (guitar/keys) and well-traveled drummer Mark Cross, led to these eleven songs, seeking to recapture the fun of 80s metal. The hyperbolic label tagline says, ‘a mixture of Riot’s "Fire Down Under", Skid Row debut album, TNT’s "Tell No Tales" with some Foreigner melodic elements. The only part I hear is the Riot influence on the galloping ‘Out In The Night’ and ‘Breathing The Fire’. Raised outside North America, this isn’t what most here were listening to during that era, although sappy ballads (titles gives it away), like an acoustic ‘Lovesigh’ and synthesizer accompanied ‘This Broken Heart’ are exceptions included here.
