Already the fifth studio album for DivineFire in seven years time, and as a matter of fact they still  haven’t changed the ingredients for this one.  This means it’s melodic metal, but with a bit of extra punch added ad times.
Although I do like their music for the greatest part of it, especially with such a fine vocalist as Christian Liljegren, there are elements I don’t like.  For instance I don’t see the need to put some growls on each and every album.  This does not aid this kind of music if you ask me.

They have however managed once again to write some very good tracks, take for instance ‘Hold On’, which has a powerful pulsing beat in it, but also some very nice orchestral part, which gives this song lots of variation.
Besides ten totally new tracks, the album also features two tracks previously found on ‘Glory thy Name’, the 2005 album, but these tracks have been remixed and re-mastered.

Final conclusion: if you leave out the grunts and growls, a good album.

75/100
