Battle Of Leningrad

[Machine Translation] Ring of Fire, a genuine neo-classical HM band that took the scene by storm in the early 2000s, is back with their first album! After the release of their third album "Lapse of Reality", the band fell into a state of inactivity, but has now returned for the first time in 10 years with leader Mark Boles at the helm, and most of the original band members have returned to complete their fourth new album. Vitali Coopri ( Key ) returns to the band after being absent from the 3rd album. Mark Boles (Vo), Tony McAlpine (G), and Vitali, the lineup from the release of the second album "DREAMTOWER," have reunited for this latest album. The ultimate neo-classical HM with a sense of integrity, beauty of construction, and technical skill, which is the best in the scene, is still alive and well in this album. Mixed and mastered by Timo Turchi (ex.STRATOVARIUS). Japan release first.
