In 2011 Golden Resurrection released their full-length sophomore album titled 'Man With A Mission' on both Liljegren Records & King Records Co Ltd. With the release of their follow-up effort we find the band coming into their own. We don't find the band trying to force anything - honestly, they seem to be just having fun and it shows in their arrangements. Throughout the album, guitar enthusiast will be happy because there are plenty of guitar solos that are simply amazing. Also, there are a couple of tracks that are lengthy guitar solos including "Metal Opus 1" which reminds me of the band Trans-Siberian Orchestra(Christmas inspired Metal). The other lengthy guitar solo is found in a bonus track - "The End of the World" which draws comparison to the guitar offerings of Rex Carol(Lead guitarist for Whitecross).
Christian Liljegren's vocals are solid on this 2011 release where we find Christian in his element just having fun. Liljegren's vocal delivery draws comparison to Joey Tempest(lead vocalist for Europe). Also, we find that Tommy ReinXeed lends a helping hand with vocals on a few different tracks including track-4 "Golden Times", track-5 "Finally Free", and track-11 "Point of Know Return"(King Records Co Ltd).

is evident as one can see in the following lyrics:
"Man With A Mission"
I'm a man with a mission
God is the reason
I'm sharing this news for you
I'm a man with a mission
I've made my decision
My heart is marked by the cross
I'm a man with a mission
Running through fire
Until I reach my goal
I'm a man with a mission
Jesus is the answer
The door is open for the world
"Identity in Christ"
Back in the days
When I was young
I was so naive
True love is hard to find
All need to be seen
You and I we're all the same
Under the skin
We are the chosen one
Out of history
Looking for of your love
Give me for the truth I last forever
I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'moving on by the spirit
You give me love, I find my identity (Find my identity)
I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'm moving on by the spirit
You give me hope, I find my identity in Christ
What is perfect?, What is true?
The edges are so hard to find
We are blinded by the media sensation
I'm a man with a mission
God is the reason
I'm sharing this news for you
I'm a man with a mission
I've made my decision
My heart is marked by the cross
I'm a man with a mission
Running through fire
Until I reach my goal
I'm a man with a mission
Jesus is the answer
The door is open for the world

Give me for the truth I last forever
I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'moving on by the spirit
You give me love, I find my identity (Find my identity)
I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'm moving on by the spirit
You give me hope, I find my identity in Christ
What is perfect?, What is true?
The edges are so hard to find
We are blinded by the media sensation
