\u201cThe cover and the title form a perfect unit, just as it should be,\u201d said Doro. \u201cIt all fits perfectly in line with the songs, which also deal with some political themes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some big anthems on the album, countless heavy songs, as well as heart-warming melodies! The album is supposed to give you power and thus contains a lot of energy!\u201d<\/p>\n
