The original album is sold out and when the record label wanted to reissue it, Piet Sielck thought it would be a good idea to remix it, shape up the production, shuffle the track order and add some additional choirs that he felt should have been there the first time around.

A quote from the man himself: "Being unhappy with the album for a long time, I am absolutely delighted to get a chance to correct my errors. The new mix will carry all Iron Savior trademarks such as big choir backings and lots of multi timbral vocals. I left all these goodies out at the time to make the album more distinguishable from my former second band Savage Circus… a fatal error, which I finally can correct now.

It has made it slightly better than the original, but it is still the least good Iron Savior album. There is not much edge in neither the choruses nor the riffs and it makes a somewhat tired and dull impression with a handful of great highlights along the way.
