"Love Under Cover" starts playing and amazing guitars, bass and drums filled the room!
The moment the vocals started from Robert Hart, it was the pinnacle of the song's quality!
We're talking about an unbelievable melodic Hard Rock track! Excellent opening for the album!
Up next is the track which the album was named after, I'm talking about "Into The Fire". Splendid level
of compositions, the vocals are a little more 'hoarse', and amazing guitars! After 30-40 seconds you'll start
headbanging! (laughs). Third track of the album, "Starting Over", goes by more melodic and rhythmic sounds.
It will remind you of Bad Company at their best. The same goes for "Fortune Favours The Brave", which goes
by more blues rhythms! Right after that it's time for "Brand New Day", another kickass Melodic Hard Rock tune!
Robert Hart and Jim Kirkpatrick must've been in an amazing mood when writing the music for this album!

Up next is "Bitter And Twisted", which will immidiately restart the headbanging! In short, an incredible track!
This track has everything, amazing vocals, powerful bass, "dirty" drums and amazing riffs! With calmer, more melodic
rhythms, "So What Is Love" continues the album. The fact that it was put right after "Bitter And Twisted" is a perfect choice.
You'll listen to it at least 2 times before proceeding with the album! "Let's Take The Long Way Home" and here it's as if we're
listening to Foreigner at their best!! Breathtaking track! "Told You So", "What You See Ain't What You Get" and "Skin And Bone"
wrap up the CD with the same high quality as the rest of the Album!
The final track is "Coming Home", which will make you think: "It can't be possible! Another amazing track??", but it is the truth.
Another amazing melodic and rhythmic track that closes the album splendidly, and leaves you with a beautiful feeling for a while
after having listened to it.
As of now, it's a fact that we're not talking just about an album, but about a Melodic Hard Rock diamond which will become a
classic! I'm sure that it's in the top 5 albums of 2014! You musn't miss this in any case, because the first person you'll do wrong
for doing so is yourself, for missing out on such incredible music.
Drop whatever you were doing and purchase this album on its Release day (23rd May 2014).
As for the score, nothing less of perfect, 10/10!
Excellent release from Escape Music!
