Review Type: 

There’s hardly a year that goes by without Jorn releasing a new album.  Of course the man has a fantastic voice and most of the time is accompanied by a great band, so you’ll not hear a real complaint from me.

But while steadfastly churning out new albums, I have the impression, at least for me, that it’s getting harder and harder to find real gems on his albums.  Not that the songs are bad, but by releasing that much material, more or less in the same vein, there are hardly any tracks that stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, this is once more a good album, with very good tracks.  And once more he’s written some kind of tribute for Ronnie James Dio, the song ’The Man Who Was King’ and I guess ‘Cancer Demon’ is also related to it.

An  album that is highly recommended to all melodic metal fans. 

93/100
