I liked this trio's debut Pure Metal album which came out in 1989. They've had to wait a fair while, and a record company takeover, for the followup. Judging from this they're another band who are moving away from metal to a more generalised heavy rock sound with at least two songs aimed squarely at AOR playlists. The band's sound has plenty of bite, James Erdman is an exceptional axeman and Scott Doefler a reasonable vocalist though at times his range is exposed a bit. There's not a lot of good white metal around at the moment so this is worth investigating.
