My World of Music – est. 2013
Already while listening to the record the first time transferred me back in time to days when the band got out of the starting blocks.

'Kuarahy' is a multi-layered album that shows the songwriting talent of a guy that hided this talent for too long.
belts before starting the engine. The power of the album otherwise might blow you away. 'Rush of Death' is a really strong album, brimming with power and energy. Well-done and great stuff for headbangers.

Hooks and harmonies are the irresistible factor though for each of these tracks with various layer being the decisive factor for more than one spin of this longplayer.
