    Very good debut with some great guitar shredding by Mr.Andy La Rocque and 'love or hate it'vocals by Mr Kim Peterson.
    This is half of album a concept story,and turns out really well.
    Halloween and The lake are my favorites but the rest of songs are also good and interesting
    This album (and the KD himself) is not for everybody and some find it cheesy and childish but I suggest you to listen to it and make your own judgment.
    Personally,I find this album as a classic heavy metal album,crafted very well.
