I don't understand the official grading system for records, but this is in very good condition, cover and record - and plays fine all the way through.
The first question that arose in my mind after I had finished listening to this record for the first time was: "what kind of music is this?". It was undeniably metal, and it was undeniably good. But there is something about this album that simply eludes easy branding and labelling. Heavy? Epic? Prog? Doom? NWOBHM? AOR? None of the above really, yet all of them are present, to various extents, in this little forgotten gem. Sit back and enjoy the atmospheres, the elaborate yet accessible song structures, the eerie vocals, the perfect production, the fine arrangement of five instruments that complement each other flawlessly. This being such a generic heavy metal release, I recommend it to just about any metal fan out there, unless your tastes are limited to extreme metal alone.
