COMMENTS & REVIEWS
MJBrady Published on: 4 Jul 2010
This is the first cd I have heard from the PMM label in some time, nice to see that they have not gone by the wayside. As there are some bands that are part of that conglomerate that are quite interesting. As expected at least one of the Rodler brothers are on this cd, that being Chris Rodler - on Guitar Synth & Keyboards. This band really doesn't delve too far into the territories of progressive metal, but they stride somewhere near that genre, the music is very guitar centric, raw and somewhat unrefined, and semi-technical, in some ways it reminds me of Psychotic Waltz's more accessible material. As the vocals take main stage, and everything else is somewhat done in support of the singer.

I guess after hearing so many great artists, I am finding this one a bit hard to get into, I recall enjoying the bands 1999 effort a bit more, but that was over 10 years ago now, I suppose in that amount of time I was expecting quite a bit more from this band. As it stands, It's a fairly average metal/hard rock cd with not much memorable content.
