"To say the music on this CD is HUGE is an understatement. Great song writing and amazing performances run through every track. If you like big sounds and big production...you have to buy this CD. The vocals are beautiful and the keyboard playing is nothing short of amazing. Great songs, great players..."
Balance your ears for something special....

"An excellent project that I hope some day soon will perform public,The writing compliments the vocal's sullen beauty combined with the best keyboards to be found!
A very strong release that has it's path already made.The guitars and production by Yan Leviathan have given him a new vision....and no sooner have I spoken that the CD is already selling out!

"If you like artists like Within Temptation you're gonna love this album!! The instrumentals are fantastic and each song is a journey into another time and space. It envokes great emotions from sadness to triumph. It is a fantastic masterpiece of creativity!!
Thanks to Echoterra for such a FANTASTIC album!!"
Another European power metal cookie from the same cutter

"This album features some top notch playing, no doubt about that. The keyboards do soar and put many synth players to shame. BUT... the vocals and song melodies are your classic, European power metal sound that seems to saturate the market these days. To me, the band is stellar, but when the vocalist comes in it waters the whole thing down with that high pitched, stale, Euro metal flavor. If this band had a better front man with more vocal range and ability, they would be a powerful force in the molodic, power metal market. The band gets five stars for being a talented bunch of players.. The vocalist gets zero stars for being another uneventful, high pitched cookie from the same cutter as a zillion other bands. And so for me, it comes out to be a three star effort, and that was being generous in my opinion, because the vocalist really drains a lot of energy away from these potentially great songs."
