It’s a great song too because of the slower and more dramatic riffing and powerful vocals from Bobby and it even has some really solid solos. ![]() One of the bigger highlights is “Where Few Dare To Walk” which is almost reminiscent of their 90's work in tone and general pace. “Hole In My Soul” is another really good song with a catchy chorus and a really nice guitar solo.
