Guitarist and founding member Tony Asta commented on the band's chart entries: "We love our fans and I often say they are the best on the planet. You know it must be true because we are proud to announce "Rise To Power" charted well, thanks to you. Thank you all for your support, see you all on the road!"

The album that Metal Sucks describes as "quite appealing, coming off as an accomplished synthesis of a wide range of styles..." can be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Bandcamp and directly from Metal Blade Records.

The album can be streamed via Apple Music and Spotify.

A video for the song "Absence" is available for viewing HERE. The video was directed by David Brodsky of My Good Eye (Whitechapel, Revocation, Cannibal Corpse, GWAR).

"Rise to Power" was produced by Jason Suecof, and mixed/mastered by Mark Lewis at Audiohammer Studios. The cover art was completed by Hungarian artist Péter Sallai (Sabaton, Sacred Steel).
