The mood in the band at the time was great, as guitarist Mark Briody explains: “We had just finished our first tour with Chris Broderick and we were excited to record with him. The previous album, 'The Fourth Judgement', was well received so we were ready for the follow up.“ And the fans were, too. In some ways "The Age of Mastery" was different musically from its predecessor "The Fourth Judgement". Mark Briody sees the main difference in the guitar department: “The lead playing is very different, Chris and Joey have very different styles. But other than the lead playing, I don’t hear much difference. They both sound like Jag Panzer to me. During the tour for ‘The Age of Mastery’ we did most of the songs from the album. But the songs that remained in our live set later were ‘Iron Eagle’, ‘Chain of Command’ and ‘The Moors’.“
