Walk Through Fire

The album that followed the long silence after Mark Gallagher's injuries in 2001, and the first territory to get it was Japan: King Records issued it on 25 March 2009. It was cut at Assembly Line Studios with Kevin 131 engineering and mixing, and the Japanese edition added "Necessary Evil" and a cover of Montrose's "Space Station #5". Europe followed on SPV/Steamhammer, and North America on 30 March 2010 through Metal Blade, in a sixteen-track edition ending with live versions of "Live At The Inferno" and "Rock Until You Drop". That spread is why sources disagree about the album's year — Metal Blade's own page and the band's archived biography both say 2010, while the current official site's album grid says 2009. This page follows the first release, the Japanese one.
