The ninth studio album by the German power metal band, originally released in October 2000. The album's style was quite different from 'Better Than Raw' (1998) as it had a much darker sound, drop-tuned guitars, and gruffer vocals. The album was produced by Roy Z and Charlie Bauerfeind. It is the last studio album to feature 'Master of the Rings'-era lineup with the dismissal of guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch after completion of the supporting tour for the album. Features the singles 'Mr. Torture' and 'If I Could Fly'.
