While it sounds familiar and by the books its hard to fault Solar Fragment's sophomore effort. Just like Persuader and Savage Circus these German brand their metal after the makers. One listen can peg influences like Blind Guardian, Helloween and Gamma Ray through ten romps of blinding speed and finesse. The production is sharp and piercing while the vocalist deadpans Piet Sielk (Iron Savior, Savage Circus). Blind Guardian's Hansi Kursh steps in for a cameo on "Inside The Circle" to lift this above the crowded scene.
