20/08/2014, Filip VAN MUYLEM

It's my first time I hear them and I'm absolutely amazed by these 11 tracks! Sound wise it comes pretty close to the powerful sound and superb vocals from Iron Maiden. In fact that’s a quite normal statement to make as Striker also use those typical Iron Maiden twin guitar harmonies.

It's fast, heavy, melodic, well worked out, rhythmic, produced by a genius, contains melancholic vocals and sometimes you can even sing-a-long with... so what does a great record need more?

Underground is a bomb, a perfect opener! The screaming voice is just so right and hot! Other great anthems are City Of Gold, Bad Decisions and Taken By Time.

This is Pure Gold!

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.

We were able to secure the support slot for Front 242. Everything was looking positive until Bas’s cancer reemerged and there were complications.
