This a 2022 reissue from High Roller records of what was originally Titan Force´s debut album that came out in ´89. In power metal circles, this album is considered a bit of a belter and rightly so. The band are from Colorado Springs, the same place as Jag Panzer whose vocalist actually sings on this album after Titan Force poached him after playing some shows with Jag Panzer.
Definitely from the Geoff Tate school of vocal pyrotechnics, Harry Conklin’s performance here is epic to say the least. Think if Iron Maiden had a love child with Queensryche who then messed around with Crimson Glory and had a quick snog with a young Dream Theater, then you may get a sense of where we are here. For a power metal album there is quite a mid tempo groove going on for most of the album, which I think suits the epic feel to the music. Stand out tracks are Wings Of Rage, Chase Your Dreams, Lord Desire, and my favourite Master Of Disguise which is killer.
Not sure why they faded away but the tunes on the grooves on this beautify are top notch.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
