| Originally released in Europe on Massive Music in 1997 with the album title, “Taste of Grapes” (it was also released in Japan). Only a handful of copies ever made it into the USA….a tragedy considering this release can stand up right along releases by Helloween, Narnia, Rob Rock / Impellitteri, Seventh Avenue, Modest Attraction, and Divine Fire. There’s also a definite influence from classic metal bands like Deep Purple, Kingdom Come, and Dokken.
Things could hardly have started off better for this talented Swedish metal band. Lead singer Mikael Lagermo and Ingemar Martensson put the band together in 1988. Within a short time, the band was touring Poland, and found themselves in front of 20,000 screaming rock fans in support of world renowned progressive metal act, Helloween.
Not only has the band provided a biography in the liner notes, full lyrics, and all new (and much improved) artwork, but this powerful metal re-release also features the band’s 1994, 5 song EP called, TIP TO TOE, rounding out the track listing to a whopping 17 tracks! A full Digital Remaster allows this progressive power metal masterpiece to sound better than ever!
