First European re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult American Heavy Metal band.
By early 1984, guitar virtuoso David T. Chastain had moved on from his Hard Rock outfit, Spike, to form the more Metal-centric CJSS with the intention of exploring a direction more true to his musical vision. However, before CJSS would go on to achieve success of their own, David caught the attention of Shrapnel Records founder Mike Varney, who wanted to construct a new project around his accomplished musicianship. The #1 prospect to front the band was rude girl vocalist Leather Leone, who, alongside Spike and CJSS bassist Mike Skimmerhorn and future Cinderella drummer Fred Coury, cemented the initial line-up of the new project, christened simply: Chastain.
A highly prolific writer, David had stockpiled a wide assortment of tracks to choose from for the band's nine-song debut, "Mystery of Illusion". Chastain's magic combination of David's anthemic songwriting with Leather's soaring vocal power opened the floodgates for the legendary careers for which both artists are now known.
For fans of Dio, Warlock, Yngwie Malmsteen, CJSS and Leather!

First re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult American Heavy Metal band.
The first Chastain album to feature Fifth Angel drummer Ken Mary, who replaced Fred Coury, after a suggestion by Shrapnel Records president and talent scout Mike Varney.
On "Ruler Of The Wasteland", Chastain leads his band through a set of well-penned and fairly accessible Heavy Metal tunes with such dramatic titles as "The Battle of Nevermore" and "Angel of Mercy". Lead singer Leather sounds like a female Dio - in a good way. Guitar geeks should stick with Malmsteen, but more mainstream Metal audiences will enjoy Chastain's tough, song-oriented approach.
During the same year, David T. Chastain also released two other studio albums with his second band, CJSS.
For fans of Dio, Warlock, Yngwie Malmsteen, CJSS and Leather!
