spectacularly sharp, loud and crisp album number nine [1995] by pirate heavy metal lords explores themes of light versus darkness: maintaining the line-up of previous recording with Thomas Smuszynski [ex.U.D.O] on bass and Jörg Michael [ex.Stratovarius] on punishing drums, music keeps the same level of consistency, viciousness, catchiness with deadly addictive harmonious guitar character; recent deluxe digipak edition comes with a newly remastered sound, Malcolm Dome's liner notes in fold out booklet, and two re-recordings of album tracks done in 2003
