| Great band, they came before this retro heavy metal became a trend, (not that I would dislike a band solely for following a trend at all, infact I think when a 'trend' gets heavily noticed the actual good bands belonging to it wrongly get bad reputation) |

Fairly average nowadays heavy metal band. I just have the first album and it didn't impress me too much. Also seen time live on stage and then I mainly noted their stolen Iron Maiden riffs.

Have to disagree on the Voodoo track. starting at 00:29 it has that horrible generic post +2000 hard rock sound. hate it. One of the only tracks from them that is any good has to be the avenger

Edge of the world is amazing, every song on there gets stuck in you head for weeks.
Also, Wolf japan does it better than nu-wolf.

| Sadly they have pretty much turned into a joke band nowadays- when the first album came out they were brilliant. Saw them supporting Saxon in 2002? and they were great. Pretty much everything up to and including The Black Flame is good. The last couple aren't. |

Pretty decent indeed. Not bad, but not special.
The Black Flame and Ravenous are fine albums, haven't listened to other stuff yet. |

| Agreed with the facts that they killed on their first three records - 'Evil star' and its title-track was their peak according to me. 'The Black Flame' was ok and then, I dunno, things kinda went downhill since they went for a cleaner, fatter sound and let go some of their NWOBHM elements... |
