The first single and video is “The World Has Gone Mad.” Check it out for yourself.
The title track “Unity” sets the tempo for the album. There is a hint of Middle Eastern influence in the arrangement that includes a chorus chant.
“World Has Gone Mad” speaks to the reality of electronic technology and the gadgets most of humanity are addicted too. The track challenges the listener with the choice of what we do with information, be it good or bad.
“Come Alive” has fast beats with a straight rock tempo, an upbeat chorus with an anthem sound.
“Never Let You Down” is about commitment and real love, where misplaced trust has broken someone.

Overall this album is a high hard rock balance with an energy boost.
