"... greet the return of this historical figure of the metal and the authentic side of heavy rock. they will appreciate such warrior spirit titles such as "World At War" and "Midas Touch"

Sea Of Tranquility (staff review)
"May is a fine guitarist, possesing the ability to hammer out rampaging riffs and searing solos as his vocal mate gargles gritilly but tunefully to great effect, resulting in an album brimming with the sort of metal anthems that have you punching the air .... what comes next could be utterly massive!"

Power Of Metal
Paul May clearly has a way of writing classic sounding heavy rock and metal, one fine riff pouring out of his strings after the other ... these are really rock solid heavy metal tunes, with a fine classic style riffing"

Dangerdog - 4 out of 5
