Why the good rock/progmetal is played not by 20-years boys, but by solid men? Probably because they can play. Really to play, and not to jingle. I have made sure of it, having heard a disk of a good team from the German city of Krefeld. Except a disk, musicians (to be exact guitarist Karlo Bertini) have sent also a brief information of collective, the letter and professionally taken off photo of TOXIC VIRGIN that happens extremely seldom (I say about a photo).

Already from the very beginning you receive a portion of the excellent rock, the first track "Broken Wings" is really one of the strongest compositions on an album. Among 13 songs, featured on the CD you will find both ballads and fast compositions, cheerful and lyrical tracks, will hear even mouth-organ (no, there isn't "Mein lieber Augustin" song on the CD), the spectrum is various (within the limits of rock music certainly). Personally I liked the very much. Probably because I'm bored of the huge stream not especially qualitative music from the pipeline of death and black metal factory.
