"King of the World" begins and imposing drums with powerful melodic guitars kick in!
Rhythmic bass and "hoarse" vocals then complete the track! Powerful, melodic and
rhythmic, it's just what was needed to start off the album! "Same Old Situation" continues
the album in more rhythmic tones with a super "dity" rhythm! You'll surely be headbanging
to its rhythm after a while! (laughs) Third track coming up is the wonderful "Misery"!
Its secrets are amazing guitars and vocals, and rhythmic drums and bass!
David Reece's vocals are trully incredible! Amazing track! You'll love it!
"Leave Me Like A Fool" continues in the same quality footsteps. Excellent "dirty" rock song.
Fantastic composition and execution from the band, splendid!
"Blue Painted Sky" comes right after that and is the most melodic track so far! Michael Klein, the band's
lead guitarist and songwriter, trully makes a spectacular job in composing these tracks!
The next is better than the last!
As "Angel In Black" begins, you'll look at your speakers and wonder..."Could it be possible that
I'm listening to yet another melodic hard rock diamond?", but of course it is! David Reece, from
track to track,
shows us what a big class frontman is and raises the tracks to a high level!
"Living On My Memories", "Desperate Nation" and "Adrenaline Rush" continue in the same quality footsteps!
"No More Lies" and "This Time" close the album in a beautiful way.
Conclusion? First of all, it's a great piece of work, and Reece put his best into it! The whole band's work was also
excellent, and the production of Dennis Ward trully is on a high level!
It will be released on the 28th of November in 2014 by AOR Heaven, and the best move you can make, if you
like melodic hard rock music, is to buy it! Kickass stuff!
ALBUM INFORMATION:
On "Adrenaline Rush" a catchy tune follows another and it clearly shows that Michael Klein,
the band’s lead guitarist and songwriter, has enormously improved his songwriting from album
to album.
None other than singer David Reece (ex Accept, Bangalore Choir) supported the band and substituted
for Robert Soeterboek, who unfortunately was forced to step back because of personal health reasons.
David Reece immediately turned out to be the right choice for the band and perfectly blends into the
songs of Wicked Sensation. Already the opener "King of the World" delivers superb hooks and melodies
which reach their highlight in the chorus while Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) can be heard together with
David Reece.
Without a break the band continues with "Same Old Situation" hich comes as a perfect blend of
Van Halen and Extreme and is full of groove. Again, Harry Hess gives his honor and can be heard in
the chorus, accompanied by Eric Ragno (Graham Bonnet) on the keyboard.

Robert Soeterboek: Vocals
Michael Klein: Guitars, Backing vocals, Bass

In addition to their fourth “long player” the band fully relied on their producer Dennis Ward

George "Snaki" Lane: 9.0/10 "First of all, it's a great piece of work, and Reece put his best into it! The whole band's work was also
