Notable Quotes

❝ “Strength is in numbers”, meaning in the group: and what better image to symbolize it than the pack of wolves on the cover, noble animals that have, deeply engraved in their DNA, a collaborative and hierarchical spirit, so much so that they struggle greatly to survive alone.

❝ Above all, much above all, the great voice of frontman Danny Vaughn, a truly outstanding singer and also a real man: he left the band in 1994, to always stay by his wife, who had fallen ill with cancer (Steve Augeri, later with Journey, took his place).
