Maybe it was better this way...Don't expect to hear a great production or hype songs, but an original epic work by three men that lived every single sound and word inside them.It can't be describe the feeling of getting lost in Necropolis ("Necropolis"), singing "...we never ever will die, 'cause heavy metal is life..."

("The Ram"), and then is the time that you must never put your sword down, never run away, keep fighting ("The Veils..") until you hear a voice reminding you that a warlord never cries ("Dreams Of..")... Some lucky countrymates saw them live recently and when Mark Shelton recognised the greek flag sang "Lost in Acropolis, lost in Acropolis..."
