Debut album by Swedish heavy metal act was released in Japan under different
title and with different cover art.
In terms of newcomers the debut of Swedish ASTRAL DOORS has turned out to be
an absolute surprise. For one this is because of singer extraordinaire Patrik
Johansson, who has a voice that sends shivers down your spine! His voice, a mix
of Tony Martin and Ronnie James Dio at their best, is the absolute revelation.
Even a Jorn Lande is overshadowed here.
For the other the brilliant song writing is absolutely outstanding. Who worships
the old heroes and would like to hear how classics such as "Long Live Rock And
Roll" (RAINBOW) or "Holy Diver" (DIO) but also "Headless Cross" or "Tyr" (both
BLACK SABBATH) would sound in today's production, should definitely get this
album. There is not the slightest weakness on this album. Of course the
obligatory Hammond sounds shall not be left out! It is so much more surprising
that Death god Peter Tдgtgren signs responsible for the more than fat sound. A
great old school album, which will surprise some of you, guaranteed! (The Metal
Observer review)
