Had to purchase this one when I found out it had been officially reissued and remastered by Heaven and Hell Records. Have to get more of their current/back catalog in the future before it goes out of print. Great "post apocalyptic/Mad Max" themed metal. Riffs and vocals augment themselves well. My album of the year for 2019 even though reissued over a year ago! metal29
