This is the third original full length album by A Split Second, created during 1989 - 1990, finished march 1990. The album displays a further growth of the band in songwriting, soundscaping and production. Tracks like Kiss Of Fury and Firewalker are little masterpieces of the genre. In other tracks, A Split Second goes its own way in the world the Industrial music, rather Industrial Rock. "Firewalker was dedicated to the native tribes of North, Middle and South America or whatever's left of them."

Firewalker is chosen as first single, and a splendid video accompagnies it. The Firewalker video is available as bonus video mpg file on the Transmix 2001 release. The first release includes Backlash on the 'b' side. Several other releases follow, as well as a second North American tour.
