Details
The album is characterized by its great influence to hard rock, because it gives the hard sound characteristic of classic bands like Deep Purple, AC/DC, Rainbow, Van Halen, and Judas Priest.
Walter Giardino says about this:
«I think it's metallic rock. The two sides are very noticeable. That was born before you start making the first songs. And I wanted to do an album like this, more directed to the rock and leave some certain issues, more symphonic or more neoclassic, who already did, and they will return at some point. But today he did this. It's an album with a lot of guitars, very powerful, highly contagious songs with rhythm and energy. It is also designed to make them live. Perhaps this stage have things that had been withheld from my own past, from the early 80s where he listened more rhythmic AC/DC or bands like Judas Priest, where the guitars were sending more. This disc also comes with end caps to put some points that the essence of rock happens on the other side».
