Energetic and uplifting following track InchBreaking The Rules Of Heavy MetalInch bursts in with full force, telling an epic tale and creating a far-reaching sense of common bond. The enchanting mid-tempo title track flatters with an Italian chorus, leading to piano-driven InchBlack Is My HeartInch shortly after, while InchLitany Of The Northern LightsInch adds a folk-like touch to this grand bunch. Explosive InchCode BreakerInch and wild InchLet's Get StartedInch serve as some of the record's most modern tunes, whereas InchThe Night Before The EndInch and InchFairy Tales For The StarsInch reflect the more symphonic orientated touches of Diamanti. This massive adventure ends with InchFollow Me, Inch a call that all fans - not only those of Temperance - should heed!
