Sep. 6, 2025: Update: Temporary Message Board Closure Update: Board ourage has been delayed due to consultant's schedule. Outage TBD. The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

Hi, in my opinion one of the best melodic rock release (on CD only) from Italy. For fans of Oxido and Whitesnake (1987). Very rare even in Italy.

Ok Melodic Rock/AOR, The guitar work is good, especially the Guitar Solos but i donīt have any favorite tracks, some catchy chorus but nothing that grab my attention. I could live without this one. 7.5/10
