This new version sees all vocals and guitars being re-recorded with the addition of a few live tracks tagged on the end for good measure. No Surrender + Live is classic hard rock fused with neo-classical metal all with the unique Lars Eric Mattsson flavour. Whilst the song writing might not be as advanced as more recent efforts released under the Mattsson name such as "Dreamchild" and "War", this is a slice of history which shows an artist that has continued to grow over the 20 years since its initial release. To go with the 15 studio tracks there is the bonus of 5 live tracks discovered in the Mattsson archives which features tracks from the albums "Electric Voodoo" and "Eternity".
