Although the band emerged toward the end of the glam\/hair metal boom, they turned their backs on the trend of prioritizing flashy looks and are known as a hidden gem that carried on the spirit of ’70s classic rock and gritty American hard rock. The songs—featuring bluesy, heavy guitar riffs, lyrical melodies, and deep hooks crafted by frontman Chip Coleman—boast a high level of polish that ensures they are more than just a fleeting fad of their time.\nSonically, the album evokes influences from ’70s rock acts like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Cheap Trick, while also possessing the catchiness of melodic hard rock. Although it remained largely unknown at the time—having been released primarily as a locally distributed cassette—its masterful songwriting remains as fresh today as ever. This is a valuable reissue that once again highlights the true worth of a talented band that was buried in the shadow of flashier trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The Unnamed\u003cbr\u003e2.Dragon Song ie Dragons at Midnight?\u003cbr\u003e3.Night Comes Down\u003cbr\u003e4.Ain’t No Feelin’\u003cbr\u003e5.No Man’s Land\u003cbr\u003e6.All Night Long\u003cbr\u003e7.Long Day Dying\u003cbr\u003e8.Way of the World\u003cbr\u003e9.Song for A Friend instrumental)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53255643824417,"sku":"685747064821","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/685747064821.jpg?v=1786765513","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/es-es\/products\/685747064821","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
