A film documentary about the band, "Standing on the Firing Line: the Story of Mystique" premiered on September 16th, 2022 at The Westdale in Hamilton, Ontario, and was released on DVD within the same year.
Despite sounding like they were part of the NWOBHM scene, Mystique were actually from Canada. The singer sounds a lot like Gedde Lee, the Hammond organ is tasteful and not overdone, and the album cover is cool. The Stone Cold Crazy cover is pretty good (not as good as Metallica's of course) and prelude To Opus One is an awesome instrumental.
