The Dogs of Wars

Our 9th studio album tells the story of The Great War, also known as the First World War. Four years of conflict that shook the world and took 4 empires with it to the grave, the consequences of which still echo to this day. The contrast between the brutality of a merciless war, and the heroic sacrifices made by its soldiers is reflected in the songs on this album. The idea for writing this album was born a long time ago, and the different stories we sing about were collected over several years of research, countless tours and with the help of our fantastic fans from around the world. “The Great War” takes us back one hundred years, to what was going to be the War to End all Wars. Today we know better.

I wonder what fans who expected a followup just as hard-rocking as Reckless thought of Into The Fire. There are some engaging rocking songs and Keith Scott is still on board, but without the power chops that made Reckless such a hit. This is a more mellowed work, with some sobering topics that probably wouldn't have most music buyers scrambling to get this album…
