From Florida, during the birth of the death metal scene, this is one of the greatest heavy metal albums from that or any other period. Absolutely killer epic and theatrical metal, memorable songs and unforgettable vocals by Midnight. In the vein of IRON MAIDEN, PRIEST, MERCYFUL FATE, QUEENSRYCHE, FATES WARNING...

CRIMSON GLORY would follow this album with Transcendence in 1988, an extremely highly regarded album.

Review

In every sense of the word, this album is a standard. It is a fit of artistic emotionalism within the early days of Power Metal that runs somewhat parallel to the NWOBHM and early Black Metal, and one that contrasts with the epic storytelling and triumphant anthems set forth by MANOWAR, IRON MAIDEN and HELLOWEEN. It's a road less traveled by bands in the genre, and one that should be explored by any fan of Heavy Metal. Along with the album that followed it, CRIMSON GLORY'S debut is something that any self-respecting fan of Metal should know of, and stands tall amongst a sea of classics that populated the time of its conception. - Metal Observer 5/5
