From a band with this name, you'd expect music with Egyptian influences, but this is nothing like that. The band offers us pure US Power metal with styles of Crimson Glory, Omen, Helstar and Iron Maiden mixed into their own.

Tim Aymar, who we know from Chuck Schuldiners Control Denied does a good job and shows his excellent singing once again. They also get some help from Mark Reale and Mike Flyntz from Riot. They play their axes on "Dark New Life". Not that the band needs any help, because Matt Johnson (Guitars) can manage on his own.

Most of the songs are rather up-tempo, for example "Dark New Life", "No Remains" and "Rats and Rope", others like "Buried at Sea" and "Cover Your Eyes and Pray" have a more epic style. Last track "Be Gone" is more progressive metal. Enough variety not to get bored at all.

For old school US-metal fans, who spit on modern power metal.
