When I first heard about the pairing of two of the best metal vocalists that there is on the same album, the prospects for a quality album seemed very good. Add in the melodic metal genius of guitarist Magnus Karlsson ( Last Tribe, Starbreaker) who wrote all the music and lyrics for this record and you have the recipe for a bona fide melodic hard rock masterpiece. Russell Allen, known mostly for his work with Symphony X (one of the best progressive metal power metal bands in existence) has also made appearances on albums such as Daniel Liverani's Genius Rock Opera as well as the Ayreon and Star One projects from Arjen Lucassen. He even performed several years ago with the Star One project for a series of live appearances. Magnus KarlssonEarlier this year, he released a much acclaimed solo project Russell Allen's Atomic Soul. Symphony X just completed a very successful run with the Gigantour (featuring Megadeth and Dream Theater) this summer and are currently wrapping up the work on a new album. Jorn Lande, besides already having a successful career both as a solo artist and as lead vocalist of Ark, is currently the lead vocalist of Masterplan, a band started by ex- Helloween members Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch. Both Masterplan albums have been excellent albums and Aeronautics, their latest, will likely make many top album list for this year. This project really is the brainchild of Magnus Karlsson who, besides writing all the songs, also plays all guitars, bass and keyboard parts.

Both Jorn Lande and Russell Allen sing solo on three tracks with the other six featuring vocal duets from the two. The production duties were handled by Anders Theander and if you think that the style of the album cover looks familiar, it's because is was done by Rodney Matthews who designed the covers for such classics as Diamond Head's Borrowed Time and Magnum's On A Storyteller's Night. Rx files will be forwarded with conditions. On the first listen to this CD, I knew that it was going to be something very special. Nothing really stood out right away but every track was a solid piece of 80's style melodic hard rock with rich vocals, huge choruses and very energetic guitar riffs that Magnus Karlsson doubles up for most tracks give the album much more of a guitar presence than many other albums in the melodic hard rock genre.
