Label: Brennus

Release Date: Out Now

Comments: Surely not to be known as a band that produces short songs, these guys average about six and a half minutes per song on all eleven contained on this disc. Powerful and anthemic, you really get a good bang for your buck with this one.

I tend to enjoy a band that can write long songs that don't lull you to sleep. From melodic to metallic, blends of haunting keyboards mixed with various blasts of scale chasing guitar as well as many twists and turns in regard to rhythms and key changes, your ears are in for many unexpected treats.

This band shows no musical limitation when it comes to what they are able to invent and perform. I can't really pigeon hole these guys to any specific band's sound but I did find myself saying at some points, "I know they remind me of someone. I just can't put a finger on who". Oh well whether it's a brain fart or my imagination, it's really irrelevant because this is decent stuff. A solid 7 . If you don't mind spending some time on an album then I would definitely check it out. track listing:
