…a polished and musicianly package.
Kevin Bryan, Kidderminster Shuttle (November 2010)
There’s always a danger that a ‘vintage’ band coming back for another shot at glory will end up more like your dad dancing at a wedding than a slick rocker, but with ‘Valhalla’ Stray have proven they can still throw shapes with the best of them
Fireworks (December 2010)
… While some may call Valhalla a comeback record, if anything I think it proves that there is still quite a bit of gas left in the tank, because this disc just might be their best one to date …
… Chock full of Bromham’s trademark guitar riffs and wah wah drenched solos…
…it certainly feels like everything fell into place this time around because the songs are killer, the production is great and Del and the boys are definitely firing on all cylinders.

The finished product is well worth an hour or so of anyone’s time…
Kevin Bryan, various regional papers (January 2011)
…impressive return to form. It has passion, fire, intensity and anger…
Classic Rock magazine (March 2011)
Valhalla is the new album by the longtime running Stray…it certainly sounds fresh and fits into the 21st century with its modern production and comparatively grinding rhythms. It’s a rocking effort, from start to finish, and one that should please any fan of classic, hard rock.
