Description/Reviews: 

The German outfit musically revolves around the area of melodic rock with many progressive elements (that are not tiresome at all) and an atmosphere similar at points to Nightwish (of “Dark Passion Play” era). In regards with that last characteristic, we must underline the presence of female lead vocalist Moja Nardelli (maybe, of an Italian origin...?) that is doing a brilliant job behind the mic.
The opening track “Cold Embrace” sets the tone for what you are about to experience on this 80-minute (!) record while the moody “Ocean of Tears” and “I Can Hear Your Heart” are for this journalist the best moments of a great record. “A New Dawn” will surely appeal to fans of Toto, Marillion, Nightwish and why not Bryan Adams but the hardcore fans of Heir Apparent and Dragonsclaw should also take notice of the album because there are some guest members in there.
