First re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy Metal band.
This album displayed a complete change of musician line-up over the previous “Dream Evil” album, including the eighteen-year-old guitarist, Rowan Robertson, and the addition of Simon Wright on drums who previously played with AC/DC (1983-1989). But it's no apparent change in the band's sound. Nevertheless, the band's status in the Metal community was beginning to slip, and the album was the lowest-charting Dio record apart from the live "Intermission".
This album possesses an unusual sound. the riffs, for the most part, are pretty basic Heavy Metal riffs but that have a very epic and noble sound, similarly to riffs found in Power Metal. Yet, there is only one guitarist and although he does do some nice lead work, its nothing like the lead work in Power Metal. Moreover, its visible that the main focus of this band is Dio's powerful voice and interesting lyrics. In other words, there are no instrumental songs, no long instrumental sections, and no long guitar or any instrument solos. Dio's melodic voice along with the epic guitar riffs and just present enough drums make a grand combination. A combination unique.
Strong album with nice, catchy melodies, pretty heavy riffs, good vocals and excellent lyrics!!
Remastered release includes download code.
