I'm surprised at the heavy as fuck direction Helstar took with their comeback. If anybody was expecting the technical excess from the old days, the direction is a dramatic shift. While they can still play, this is not your old school 80's Helstar. Even James growls quite a bit. Its a strong disc if you like "the Heavies".
After saying that, I admit, I can't dig it. I liked the re-recorded classics disc, I even liked the comeback disc, but "Glory..." is too far away from where Helstar came from. While I do own it and will pop it in from time to time, it becomes a "mood" disc, where Remnants of War, Nosferatu & A Distant Thunder are old standby's which I never get sick of.
Just my 2 cents
