Kind of an odd story behind this band. The man behind Yargos is Wieland Hofmeister who actually put Yargos together in 1973. They played around in Germany quite a bit opening for a lot of touring prog bands but they never recorded anything and basically dissolved. Hofmeister decided to finally put something together after all these years and reactivated the Yargos name. He enlisted some interesting guys including Threshold vocalist Mac and ex-Hydrotoxin guitarist Andreas Kienitz. Running Wild bassist Peter Pichl plays here as well. You would expect a metal project but in fact this is more of a mix of bombastic prog rock, AOR, and hard rock. Not much here that I would categorize as metal. Its a little bit on the slick side but pretty well done.
