THE BATTLE RAGES ON

God bless Ian Gillian! He has always had a great set of pipes. From the 1993 album of the same name. I feel like this should have been a better album and single. Look who's on this: Gillian, Blackmore, Glover.... However, this tune is pretty much a 90's Heavy Metal panache that has been heard and repeated hundreds of times. It not really a bad song. It does have a good addictive driving beat and some interesting BOC-type lyrics, but there is not any prog here. This is Hard Rock/Heavy Metal/Arena Rock..whatever...It is one of the better songs from a weak album, however. Probably best enjoyed by fans of Ozzy, Judas Priest, etc..2 stars.
