"This album was really done as a tribute to all the great legends of heavy metal that have influenced my life and my music. I consider this collection of songs to be a celebration of the metal godz who laid down the path for the rest of us to follow.

From the opening cut 'return to glory' which pays an homage to old Iron Maiden to the haunting sounds of 'in the darkness' which hint at King Diamond with their ghostly vocals.

I really feel there is something for every metal fan on this new album, and I am proud to bring metal fans a new offering of songs to bang your heads to!"
