[edit] Album information

Overall the whole album has a much darker atmosphere than the past Helloween releases. It serves more as a throwback to the band's 1998 album Better Than Raw and 2000 album The Dark Ride. At the same time however the album has a different feel mainly because of the fact that the two songwriters that took Helloween in that dark direction in the first place , Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch ( who wrote 7 tracks in Better Than Raw and in The Dark Ride ) are not in the band . Keyboards are also utilized more frequently than on previous releases.
