 NOTES
This CD release is better than awesome! It rock hard, It's very up and positive, both message-wise, and musically. Tunes like 'Rat Race' and 'Kingdom of Light' are classic examples of how and what real metal tunes should sound like... played fast and hot, but still retaining a melodic feel with choruses that are memorably magnificent. A phenomenal effort! This album rates not only as hard rock's finest work, but as one of the greatest albums in rock history.

 		 NOTES
This album features some of  the heaviest and best vocals and guitar sounds ever laid down on a single album. 'Rage of Creation'  is jam packed with everything that turned you on to heavy metal to begin with:  Awesome Screaming Vocals, Blazing Guitar Leads, tons of smokin' bass, killer drums sonics . . . need I go on?.  There are different flavors on this album ranging from Black Sabbath/Helloween/ Iron Maiden-type uptempo stuff to no frills melodic metal; there is also a really dark downtuned song that starts off in the Sepultura-vein  and then goes thru a lot of changes; there is a great ballad and an awesome cover tune as well.  Really a very well rounded album and the performances by Rob Rock and Roy Z are totally amazing. "Rage of Creation" CD is heavy and more metal-oriented partially because there are no keyboards to speak of. In summary, this release moves; it has fire and it rocks!
