    Keep coming back to this over and over. Great songwriting, great musicianship, great production. It's like they have taken the best parts of Iron Savior, old school Iced Earth, hints of Jag Panzer, and even Disturbed, and created an ode to Power Metal. Album of the year for me.

    First listen, but it won't be my last.
    I'm reading the classic serialized crime novel "the Maltese Falcon" while listening, and even distracted by the enrapturing novel, I still noticed--by sheer force of quality--two of the songs on this album, which yanked me from my focus and demanded a minute or two of my attention.
    That's how I know an album has merit. You don't give the music your attention, instead thw music takes it.

    OK, this is definitely a must buy. Is a High-Res lossless version (24 bit/96 KHz or better) available for purchase and downloading at Bandcamp or anywhere else? I can't see what I get before actually paying for it, and getting 16 bit/44.1 Khz FLAC or WAV in 2020 is kind of meh.

    • @Dirty-Viking-Audio
      @Dirty-Viking-Audio 4 роки тому +1

      Hi Boris .. thanks for the interest but no we are not selling 24bit master files. As an audio engineer for many years over many releases, including this one, I can tell you with 10000% certainty that there is just no way someone is going to notice any discernible improvement in sound quality over a normal 16 bit wave file. Not unless they're using the type of studio monitors, acoustically measured & treated room and / or ridiculously expensive mixing/mastering headphones I use. Then you might notice something. That is literally not about 95% of the music consuming population though . That all being said, buying the album from our bandcamp also gets you an exclusive, non album bonus track :)
