Guitarist Brian Tatler speaks about the album:  "When we began talking with Ras about making a new record, he said we should write the songs as a band just like Diamond Head did at the beginning of our career.  There's no substitute for writing together in the same room.  We spark each other off and create something far bigger than we could have done individually.  Ras has certainly renewed the energy within the band.  I had no interest in doing another record, but after working with Ras on the European tour, that all suddenly changed.  I wanted to make a record with him.  He's a confident singer and he's not trying to fill anyone's shoes.  This new album has an echo of the early albums, but I always try to push our music forward somewhere new if possible.
