In particular, the first single \"The Conqueror\" has over 200,000 video views and over 600,000 streams on various streaming platforms! The album attracted a lot of attention in the scene, but due to the coronavirus pandemic that spread throughout the world, live performances were curtailed. In 2022, when the coronavirus pandemic finally ended, there was a change in the members who had remained unchanged since their formation, and vocalist Michael Salo, who had become the face of the band, left the group. Although it took some time, they acquired a new Spanish vocalist, Aitor Arastia, and started their second chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAitor's amazing singing in this album is powerful and promises a bright future for the band.

In other words, they will be producing two albums with this theme. Leader Sami reassuringly says, ``This album is a timeless and powerful album that upholds the band's tradition and captivates listeners with power metal. We need to make power metal great again!''
