For:Fans of melodic hard rock, AOR, and epic/Celtic-tinged rock; listeners who appreciate strong melodies and guitar solos.

 a riff like Mr. Big’s, the warm voice of that blonde singer, and an epic chorus that made me scream "Spellbound" at the top of my lungs throughout the house to the despair of the neighbors.

 Gary Hughes needs no introduction to metal listeners, a versatile artist present in several projects (including the personal one that retold the entire story of King Arthur a few years ago) and who was the main driving force behind the artistic resurgence of the great Bob Catley, leader of Magnum (among the founders of pomp rock).
