The Finnish metallers from the 80′s, OZ, definitely surprised several old and even newer classic metal fans by returning to the limelight. The band’s main core started penning new material, and the result is a new album of new OZ songs. The new video fr the song "Dominator" was without any doubts a strong piece of evidence showing that OZ haven’t lost an inch even though the band has been on hiatus for about 20 years.
