Warlock with “True As Steel” is a fairly ballsy rendition of a new currents with more than just a few sharp riffs pricking the pop-metalish layer.

“Mr. Gold” opens the album with sprightly, energetic guitars and “Fight for Rock” is a catchy memorable hit that presents the more mainstream side of the album. “Love in the Danger Zone” is a nice semi-ballad, with Pesch producing a spellbinding performance. “Speed of Sound” is a speedier, more dynamic proposition and “Midnite in China” is a rowdy heavy metal anthem with Pesch pitching it higher. “Vorwärts All Right” brings back the fast pace, and the headbangers will have their fun for about 4-min as this number can even quality for Scanner’s “Hypertrace”, the most aggressive proposition here. The heavy ballad “Love Song” with Pesch in top form again; the feelgood infectious hymn “Igloo on the Moon”, and the biggest surprise here, the short instrumental closer “T.O.L.”, a great display of musical virtuosity with guitars and keyboards, a really stylish way to finish this fairly entertaining effort.
