Stephen There's a big talking in the 2004 of which Tony Harnell will collaborate in an ambitious project with Magnus Karlsson where the European melodic rock will be unified with the glorious heavy metal into a melodic metal beast called Starbreaker. When the album came out in 2005, it received rave reviews across the internet and to me, Starbreaker didn't let down and delivered what the fans were hoping for, the roaring melodic screamer with the intense blazing guitars.

"Die For You" opened with an exciting distorted vocal and a bit of ethnic drops, "Lies" swayed with a vibrant aggressive tones, and "Underneath A Falling Sky" is a triumphant big chorus track with crunchy riffs. Spin it once and you might hear a close similarity on each track but after several spins, every song will sparkle its own unique beam and give you a different reason to love. This album is a winner with a consistent songwriting quality and brilliant performances by the rock veterans!
