    This German band has been at their Christian metal ministry for several years now, and it's paying off! These guys have released a very credible heavy melodic metal album. Produced by England's Norman Barratt, this 10-song collection establishes the band as a valuable foreign import. The American bands better watch out! Like fellow-countrymen The Scorpions, vocalist Jessy Baron's accent sets him apart with a unique musical flavor. While not exactly on the same par musically with The Scorps (and who is?), these boys are well on their way (If it only takes them two more albums to write an album like "In Trance", the body of Christ is in for a real treat!). One of the album's highlights, "Forever On Fire", shows off the power and commercial edge of the band, as well as the classy range of Jessy Baron. "In The Dark" closes off the album with a barn-burner, showing the skills of guitarist Udo Libutzkij. Check this band out!
