Acoustic guitar gets things going in classic style. The track turns harder rocking as other elements enter later. This piece is intricate and classy and turns more metallic later. It’s about a minute-and-a-half long and purely instrumental.

Seeming to come out of the previous track, this has a real vintage Iron Maiden vibe. It’s frantic and edgy and really rocks.

The twin-metal guitar attack that starts this is on fire. It’s also decidedly Iron Maiden-like. The cut is a fierce and rather raw and punky stomper. Again, the references to Maiden are prominent here. I love the guitar solo on this, and the whole cut really has a lot of fire and passion.

This track is intriguing. It has a nice contrast between more melodic sections, frantic Maiden-like stuff and some more mainstream NWOBHM styled sounds. It makes for a dynamic and varied number that really works well.

Driving metal is on the menu here. I dig the galloping guitar part. The choruses on this have some great hooks. In fact, the chorus reminds me a little of Blue Öyster Cult. This is another smoking hot metal stomper. The instrumental break seems like what you might get if you crossed BOC with Iron Maiden.

This is a fierce and fiery metal stomper. I can make out hints of Queensrÿche here, but there is almost more unique power metal and symphonic metal here. This is dramatic and powerful. It’s also one of the highlights of the set.

The guitar work as this gets going is on fire. This evolves to more of a mainstream hard rock song, but there are still plenty of metal elements at play here.

I love the melodic guitar fills on this thing. The meaty metal riffing is all class, too. This isn’t a huge change, but it just seems to work especially well. It’s a driving metal stomper that manages to incorporate some rather BOC like guitar stuff. It’s also another standout of the disc.

Here we get another ferocious metal stomper. This is mean and so tasty. The instrumental break features some killer guitar work.
