Power metal with hints of prog, as there are keyboards intermixed at times. The vocals remind a lot of early Jon Oliva, and the music a bit of Savatage as well. More advanced and "updated," though, as there are current Euro power strains of Iron Savior, Grave Digger, and a little Maiden. Good stuff, overall.
"Nature's Revenge" is a heavy track with a strong chord-driven pace, and the nasty rolling notes of "Fever Dream" mixes perfectly with the placed harmonics.
The title track is churning and multi-dimensional, while "Dark Desire" is simple rip and gallop, thumping along all the while. "The Crusade of Lies" is a solid opener, and "Room Eleven" is one of the faster cuts featured.
