?Light Of Dawn" has even wider musical approach as the fi rst record. Opener ?Your Time Has Come" sounds fresh from the ?Keeper" sessions but not a leftover - it will bring tears to the eyes of all Kiske/Hansen fans. ?For The Kingdom" the EPs title track is musically similar but not as fast while ?Exceptional" the albums fi rst single and video has a thunder groove and an exceptional" chorus. ?Not Gonna Take Anymore" offers some Judas Priest-like hymn, ?Blood" and ?You And I" are the type of so-called ballads other bands are dying to write. ?When The Deed Is Done" is written
from the perspective of a hangman and ?Night Of The Long Knives" deals with minions during the 3rd reich and
2nd world war phase. Produced again by bass player Dennis Ward the album was recorded in the spring of 2014 and
features an again ?exceptional" artwork by Martin Hausler who is also responsible for the video for the fi rst single. The
band is fi ring on all cylinders but it is again Michael Kiske´s voice that makes the difference - his voice is so unique and
remarkable and strong and makes him the best metal singer of all time next to Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson,
Rob Halford and Geoff Tate.
