I bought this album on cassette in about 1989 and wore it out by 1991. Every song is great, but "Ruby Eyes (Of the Serpent)" is one of the best metal songs of all time. Seriously. Absolutely flawless.
The musicianship of these songs is excellent, but the reason Omen stood out from other Metal Blade acts was JD Kimball's vocals. Killer singer. In that era there was nobody else who could scream and shriek, but still belt it out like a man. JD Kimball has a gruff, burly voice that lends gravity to these songs.
It's sad that he died, and for more reasons than because he was a great singer. But I'm greedy and selfish, and I want to hear Kimball's voice in more songs. |

JD KIMBLE was a true Metal God. Submitted on: 2006-05-27 |

John (JD) was like a brother to me, and I still cry everytime his name is mentioned. he was one of the absolute best song writers the world has ever seen. His vocals were astounding live, I met him after he had parted ways with Omen. he was then in a band called Hammer Dammage, and syberia. (Based in the san fernando valley). I weep when i remember back to a show we had at a small club called Stage West, there were about 200 people in the crowd. and the show went on with out a hitch, JD sounded amazing as did the rest of the band. Later that night i found out that he had lost over 2 pints of blood before and during the show (From colon cancer). That in essence summs up JD Kimble to me. A true legend, He had set aside his own pain and fears to put on a great show. for the few faithful fans and his fellow bandmates. this was in the mid 1990s.
My sister still drives his yellow van that he used to tour with Omen. he also gave us some of his costumes from Omen and some lps. that since his death i can't even bring myself to open the box's for the pain i would surely feel.
John Your missed more than words could ever say.
your friend Pat.

OUTSTANDING!! Submitted on: 2003-10-11 |

| This and the first CD (Battle Cry) are both just about perfect recordings. There isn't a bad song on either one. I just don't see how someone that likes Maiden or any other classic metal wouldn't own and love this CD. The guitarist has reformed Omen, but unfortunately they will never be able to sound this good again as the vocalist on the first three Omen CDs (JD Kimball) passed away on October, 3 2003. He was one of the best singers in metal ever. |

An amazing album - musically excellent Submitted on: 2002-12-31 |

| I bought this album on the basis of its cover art and song titles alone - and it quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time.All tracks are intense, with a heavy rhythm. Particularly enjoyable are the bombastic title cut, the clenched-toothedly optimistic "March On," and the intriguing "Don't Fear The Knight." Also worthy of note are "Termination," an homage to a certain Schwarzenegger film, and the catchy but deeply disturbing "Ruby Eyes (Of The Serpent)," {which includes the line: 'Cut out the hearts of the Children/Watch their lifeblood slowly fade away/Drain off every ounce of Power and lead/Every one of them Astray...'.} Dark but impressive, with an almost Carmina Burana-like grandeur in the instrumental track 'Premonition.' A worthy addition to any music collection! |
