Listen several times before you judge the album!

One must hear it several times before it is a really opens!

I think that Matt to these songs better fit and am very excited about the remake of Fr.Arm. album with Matt in the vocals! Sometimes I had the utopian idea that Tim Owens and Matt Barlow could share the vocals, Times would be a new, crazy mix!

To Album:
thrilled me the recognition, because many signal words that are of "Something Wicked" knows, have been built with (in sacred flames, wicked, child is born, Curse, The Prophecy, The Chosen One, etc.) - as well as some hooks and riffs that formative run through the entire topic.

Playing tips:
Behold the Wicked Child (geinialer Opener)
Minions of the Watch (brilliant new vocal style of Matt !!!!!)
The Revealing (IE very typical and driving !!!!)
A Gift or a Curse (Jon Schaffer sings the main vocals, super cool !!!)
Harbinger of Fate (very mystical, well done, canon-like songs !!!!)
Crucify the King (also something new from the signature style for IE, horny vocals)

Come What May is in my opinion not related to the story itself, but is a separate song that appeals to humanity.

For a not actually awaited comeback album I really find good !!!! Well done are the lyrics that Matt Barlow could contribute with what he had always wanted, but so far not allowed!

The artwork of the album is great, as always. I look forward to (hopefully) some gigs in Germany!

4 stars !!! 1 star deduction for something to monotonous mixture, sorry, Jon!
