In 1998, BO Records, a sub-label of Last Episode , where temporarily u. a. Wizard and Tyrant Eyes were under contract, the fourth album God Complex . On this “very solid melodic metal album” the band presented “Melodie vor Schweinsgalopp and technical cabinet pieces” and was able to maintain the “high standard” over the entire distance of ten songs. In terms of style, the work is suitable for "all fans from the Pretty Maids to the latest" true metal sensations "". In the Metal Hammer review , God Complex received four out of seven points.
