This band is ridiculously competent at playing their instruments. The album isn't overproduced. It has a simple old school sound, but it only seems well produced simply because of how tight the performances are. The guitar and vocals are completely under command, and the lyrics are hilarious. Mostly it consists of an Iron Maiden/Helloween sound, very well executed.I only give it 4 stars because it has some traces of glam that I didn't notice while initially sampling the music. I don't mean bad corporate glam, but rather a strong trace of more respectable glam bands like Ratt or Wasp in many of the songs. I'm unfortunately a bit closed minded about this - I could never warm up to that genre.So consider my review to be adjustable. If you are okay with the L.A. hard rock of the early 80's, my rating is a perfect 5 because the songwriting is amazing, and each song is loaded with energy. If you are little more snobby like me about your metal, you may consider it a 3, so keep sampling their songs to make sure it is what you're after.

Amazing work by new bands of NWOTHM. Cauldron can cherry pick the best elements from other bands of that genre and beyond. Definite notes of Sabbath, early Scorps guitar riffs, plus a heavy dose of Rainbow esque lyrical content. Not a masterwork by any means but worlds beyond what other metal bands are doing at this time. Very much a less polished stripped down type sound that emphasizes solid riffs over any studio magic. Have purchased "In Ruin" as well and have similar praise. Excellent listen.

Summoned to Succumb was what got me to take a chance on this album, I absolutely loved that song from the first time I saw the video on YT. Some songs are damn good, others are just decent. Vocals are good but nothing spectacular, I'd compare him to Ace Frehley (they both carry a tune just fine, but not a lot of range in their vocal styles).I like it a lot, I just don't completely love it. It's not a perfect album, but a pretty solid one nonetheless.

GOOD RETRO METAL BAND WITH NWOBHM FORMAT,

I hate it. It's not my kind of metal.

I really like Cauldron's debut album but this one sort of lets me down. It sounds generic and the vocalist sounds uninspired and boring here. He doesn't generate much enthusiasm and almost sounds like he is just speaking.

First rate

Excellent album.

Listening to this is like taking a time machine to 1988. The production is lacking but the song are good. Feel like listening to 220 Volts or Riot on a tape recorder but I love the feel of the songs.

Muy buen álbum de esta joven banda Canadiense, en el que se puede apreciar una clara influencia de la New Wave of British Heavy Metal (N.W.O.B.H.M.) del periodo 1978- 1985, riffs y solos bien estructurados, con una sección rítmica potente, muy recomendable para todos los que gusten del Heavy Metal puro.

I really enjoyed this album and will be purchasing more in the future.. This album reminded me of the earlier days of Rock N Roll..
