On this golden march, Lizzy Borden harkens back to their ever-so-memorable traditional metal roots with beefy guitar hooks, rolling bass lines, upbeat attitudes, and catchy-as-heroin choruses. Newcomer Ira Black hunts down redundancy with blasting riffs that acquire an old-school feel while shoving addictive chemicals into your brain. Black's biggest contribution, however, is the man's insane soloing show in which his frets are utterly destroyed by quick fingers and flaming chord picking. But of course, Lizzy Borden himself once again has a phenomenal vocal display of wonderful all-around singing, yet such a quality was pretty damn obvious considering how great his voice is on past studio performances.

Now a lot of folks will be expecting a typical retro-laden release, which is correct, but there's a major instrumental change in the Lizzy Borden camp: increased technicality. In musical terms, Black's riffs are shown by diversified chord progression rhythms presenting a lot of gallops and crazy licks pleasantly make their way through the sound barrier. Still, it's important to point out his playing speed demonstrates a clear enlargement from previous efforts due to large amounts of blazing chops and solos; not a relevant factor before, but definitely a nice addition here. Longtime drummer Joey Scott also gives a complex edge to this record by operating nimble patterns, swift fills, and a ton of double-bass pedaling over Black's rapid riffing, which obviously molds a faster impression on the listener. Punching out old-school metal over the course of two decades hasn't stopped Lizzy Borden from pumping more dynamic attributes into their veins, and the injection process leaves nothing but a slick structure of faster, heavier metal.
