Be warned. Clone album, different name!

"Please be warned that if you own the "Of The Son & The Father" album by this band then you already own this CD minus the Japanese bonus tracks which can also be found on the "Raiders Of The Ark" EP for quite a bit less money. I found out via the bands web site, the Japanese record company was unwilling to release the album with the crucified priests on the cover. So they changed the album cover and since the title no longer went along with the art, in Japan only they decided to call it "Cloudbreaker" instead. You may think you are getting a new or different album, but you are not. My advice is if you don't have the songs, buy "of The Son & The Father" and "Raiders Of The Ark" instead for less money plus on "Raiders Of The Ark" you also get the Japan bonus track from the "Evil Is Forever" album.



As far as the band / sound goes, if you are a fan of Ronnie James Dio by all means pick up some albums by this band. The singer sounds just like RJD and to me the band is way more talented. Very solid album (but buy the other 2 discs instead for less money and more songs.)"
