They burst onto Chicago's vibrant scene, which was already full of established metal bands but also saw a significant number of new projects on the rise. Their sound - a blistering fusion of classic heavy metal and the muscular aggression of American power metal - featured galloping riffs, soaring vocals, and thunderous rhythms that evoked the genre's golden age.

Recorded with meticulous attention to analog warmth, the album is a love letter to fans of traditional metal, blending gritty hooks with intricate solos.Available on vinyl for the first time, Liars, Killers & Master Thieves will be released worldwide in a deluxe limited edition, featuring 4-page insert with official band biography, full lyrics and rare band photos. A must-have for collectors and American metal aficionados.In April 2026, the band will give a special performance at the legendary Keep It True festival in Germany.
