A great album with haunting melodies and smart lyrics awaits you if you give this new band a chance.
This is not your typical progressve rock/ metal album with traditional way of handling vocals/harmonies. The band really pushes the envelope in terms of showing how to write and play not so technically sophisticated, yet dark, catchy and even radio friendly songs incorporating some of that modern sound, while staying true to their progressive metal's roots.
Yes, the vocals take a little time (just a few spins) to get used to, but if you are patient enough, you will be rewarded as the singer will get under your skin with his emotional way of singing. He does have a unique style and it fits the music perfectly.
Highly recommended!

This CD is good!, July 26 2005

I guess this is a a love it or hate it type of album but i am firmly in the LOVE IT group! This band has its own unique sound. Definitlely a dark metal type of prog music. I listened to the clips from the band's website first. These are strong songs. The band did a good job creating unique songs, they don't sound the same like some groups. What does this band sound like....Some Fates Warning, maybe some Queensryche thrown in but overall just good music that any fan of this genre should enjoy. Do not be fooled by these 1 star reviews, they are an injustice.
