Score: 5/6
Some of you have been waiting a very long time for this release. It is a pleasure to tell you that Tore Østby, Jørn Lande and John Macaluso have made a very strong record, although those of you who thought, and hoped, Tore would continue where he left with Conception, might get a little disappointed. Ark has very little in common with the former band of the excellent guitarist.
The Coverdale/Lynnot-sounding voice of Lande injects some influences from the seventies in the music, while the playing of Østby, and the quite technical drumming of Mr. Macaluso makes it progressive.
This combination is very hard to beat. There are a lot of strong songs here, especially "Burning Down", "Where The Winds Blow" and "Singers At The Worlds Dawn".
