Again, they do not reinvent anything here, but I really enjoy listening to this entertaining and exciting disc of theirs. Even though this outfit is influenced by some of the hard rock giants and heavy metal legends of old, this muscular opus of Crown of Glory’s has a modern sheen to it and sounds current. Original or new? Hell no, but the songs are full of energy and fist-pumping choruses capable of tearing your shitty house in two. Blistering leads, sharp riffs, an effective combo of female and male vocals, and a pounding rhythm section are what is in store for you here.

Crown of Glory’s opening track, “Emergency”, pretty much explodes out of the starting block and from that point on we are treated to galloping and melodic heavy metal that is as bombastic as it is huge sounding.
