This could be a top ten of '99 already with Warrel and Co. kicking ass again! 13 new tracks from the ex- Sanctuary members Dane and Sheppard with a new member for this release---Tim Calvert from Forbidden replacing Pat O'Brien (went to Cannibal Corpse) on guitar. The band is significantly tight and this release continues on where "Politics..." left off. Great riffs that bounce from melodic to heavy as do the songs with unique guitar solos and surprise fill-ins on some tracks (the title track is a good example) and the noncompromising talent and next-to-none voice of Warrel Dane that mesmerizes and haunts. Kicks ass from start to finish.
