For the first time since 1997, Swedish MILLION grace us with a new album, complete with new label, new singer and new guitarist, lots of news in the MILLION-camp, so was the sound also affected by the changes? Yes and no.

Guitar Virtuoso James Byrd (Fifth Angel) returns with a powerful new project for the new Millennium. In fact, the CD Cover literally says "Symphonic Metal For The New Age". Byrd never quite achieved the notoriety of peers like Yngwie Malmsteen or Michael Schenker, but listening to him play makes you wonder why. One reason might be the progressive nature of the music isn't as listener friendly or as commercial as some other guitar greats. On this project he is joined by vocalist "Michael Flatters" who does a fine job with the intricate song structures and melodies that Byrd has written.
