The long awaited return of the N.w.o.b.h.m heroes and somehow you always fear the worst when some of your childhood favourites return but in this case I can give a all-clear to all inclined listeners. ‘Eye Of The Sun’ became a fucking Old-School album. Even when there is some modern shouting from time to time, we’ve got a classical metal album (in the positive way) lying in front of us. ‘Angels In Hell’ is such a highlight. With an acoustic and dreamy beginning and a fat metallic riffing and up-pace with a very melodic refrain. The new vocalist Matt Moreton does his job really pretty well and he’s even got that typical, slightly whining voice, how it was obligatory at the NWOBHM. The title track starts off 80es-esque with good melody-lines and a very lascivious guitar solo: ‘Golgotha’ is another great track with a basement and a simple, but magic chorus accompanies this song. In the middle there is a power-part and a Forbidden-esque shouting starts off and it is followed by an acoustic break, where the voice gets tranquil. This album is a straight-forward fodder for all headbangers and especially for the truest of the true. The album has enough great tracks to be able to straining your neck! Cloven Hoof are back and they haven’t laid their 80es-roots aside
