Book of Secrets {1998}
Album of the Year...
“Not only is Book Of Secrets a clear winner for album of the month, but I believe that I've found my album of the year. It is one of the finest Rock albums ever to grace
my Hi-Fi and one that I will treasure immeasurably.”
Mark Hoaksey - Powerplay Magazine
“Everything about Balance of Powers, Book of Secrets album, from the songs to the production, or the packaging to playing, just emphasizes that B.O.P have stepped up several divisions into serious major league territory. A superb collection of songs, delivered with a passion which should see them win a whole new legion of fans. The European and Japanese markets will lap this up by the boat load, and it's great to see a predominantly British band flying the flag so proudly once again. Balance of Power have done their job admirably, now it's over to you!!”
Dave Cockett - Hard Roxx Magazine
“Lance King's Tony Harnell (TNT) style vocal pyrotechnics and Pete Southern's penchant for Yngwie Malmsteen-like guitar heroics combined with Ivan Gunn's lush keyboards to concoct
a package that simply relishes the production lovingly administered by drummer Lionel Hicks. Balance of Power come of age.”
8/10 - Dave Reynolds - Classic Rock Magazine UK
“Balance of Power have all the bases covered and will acquire considerable status in Europe and Japan. Book of Secrets is a tremendous album, and deserves every plaudit that comes it's way.”
Andrew Paul - Soundbarrier Magazine, UK
“Balance of Power - 'Book of Secrets' 'Operation' Queensryche meets Royal Hunt. Awesome album!”
Aron Radford - Powerplay Magazine
“Book of Secrets! Brilliant.”
100/100 points - Flash Magazine, Italy
“Balance of Power's new album Book of Secrets is more dramatic and aggressive sound, but with catchy melody lines, Lance King's exceptional vocals have the league and feel of Geoff Tate (Queensryche) and Andi Deris (Halloween).”
88/100 Kaz Hirose - Burrn Magazine, Japan
“With Lance King on vocals and the Vandamne dude on guitar, this band is ready for the big time.”
Tom Coyne - Hard Roxx, UK
