A different concept, but still in the Tommy Vitaly spirit when it comes to the music, the first one is Betrayer, fast and pounding where the traces of Judas Priest runs through the veins of the song and the voice of Mats Leven sparks the ignition for a super album. Run With The Devil gives Carsten Lizard Schultz (Evidence One) the opportunity to impress with his explosive voice on this melodic and hard driven song where also the great keyboard work as well as fantastic guitars from Vitaly himself makes the difference. Hands Of Time is next and Todd LaTorre, (Crimson Glory) takes over the microphone and supplies aggressive singing in this speedy metal creation where the harmony in LaTorre's voice gives it all a great flow and forceful metal impression. The atmosphere is changing in Forever Lost, David DeFeis (Virgin Steele) makes this epic metal song both melodic and strong with his melodic and constructive way to give songs personality. It goes in a relaxed tempo but the magic in the song is wonderful. Idol is full of power stricken rhythm and the cooperation between the drums and the voice of Michele Luppi (Thaurorod) works superb, one of the best songs on the album. Misanthropy is an instrumental piece of epic metal with rhythm and solo make you in a good mood, great work there. Heavy Metal Gods is another aim at the sky with Carsten Lizard Schultz (Evidence One) again doing the vocals, forceful pressuring metal in a melodic and well-written style where the guitar solo is served by another guest performer, David 'The Shredder' Shankle, best known from his time with Manowar. The title song is Hanging Rock, instrumental and strong in the build, but not leaving the greatest of impression to remember afterwards, but still OK for give a little variation for the album. The last song is called Ice Warrior, and also here we are in the epic metal section, powerful and driven by a great rhythm makes a good base for Zak Stevens (Circle II Circle) to do the vocals on the last song for this album.
