Reissued on CD (including remastered audio, three bonus tracks and a booklet) is a 1983 US AOR/pomp rock album from a band/project featuring Jeff Cannata, formerly of Jasper Rath. Session bass on the album came from future Bon Jovi man Hugh McDonald. James Christian (House of Lords) sung on backing vocals on almost all tracks. Cannata would not resurface until 1988 with his second album, although by then the Arc Angel tag had been dropped in favour of Jeff Cannata's own surname.

Freakstorm was founded as a tribute project in 2016. The first song the band recorded was a cover of US band Halestorm. The goal to hand this track over to their idols personally (which indeed happened), gave Sinah and Olli the motivation to record their own songs. After the self-released EP "We Got The Fire" (2018) and the EP "From Zero" (2019), a new era for Freakstorm began when they started to work with producer Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69/Helloween). He supported the band to develop a rich rock sound - a strong fundament for Sinah's powerful and clear voice. In May 2019 the successful single "Can't Keep Me Down" was released digitally.
Mikael Erlandsson needs no further introduction when it comes to melodic rock. He has released six successful solo albums and a lot of titles with groups like Phenomena, Salute among others. Between 2006-2018 Erlandsson fronted the Swedish super group Secret Service which he toured with live all over the world. Together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard rock band Fair Warning he founded the band LAST AUTUMNS DREAM in 2003 which also featured Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe fame at the time. The self-titled debut album was produced by Claes Andreasson and became a great success.
