CD ReviewsGreat! Michael D. Wynne | 01/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard this band on Hard Attack (Sirius Radio) and did a rare thing; ran to my computer and bought this CD. This is guitar intensive work, heavily on classical influences, the Yngwie Malmsteen legacy, for those who are old enough to recall him. It is heavy, a mix of agressive voals and more operetic...laced with classical guitar intros, and blazing solos and riffs. The songs are quite good, track 3 being the most catchy. Looking forward to their future works." Let the shred-fest begin!!! Metal Bones | Knoxville, TN | 01/07/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard "Crossing the Rubicon" at Best Buy of all places and had to buy the CD. I heard the awesome guitar solos and thought "what are they doing playing something like this here?" The album is completely entertaining...there are several classical influenced acoustic passages mixed in and 2 instrumental tracks. The musicianship is incredible. A.J. the lead guitarist can do sweeps/arpeggios like no other. Not to mention the drums and bass match the talent of the guitar players. Whoever says the vocals on this CD are awful must have a hearing disorder. The lead singer is excellent and has many different styles that fit each part of the songs. The lyrical content is as complex as the music. My favs are Crossing the Rubicon, Mae Culpa, Channel Detritus, and Vela, Together We Await the Storm." Lots of talent, good lyrics, however, very repetitive Todd SE | CT | 01/07/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "this is a band with a lot of potential and a lot of talent. the lyrics are pretty cool and the guitar work is quite exceptional, along with the bassist and drums as well! the way that this band holds their music together is beyond my comprehension and ability (as a drummer myself) and the vocals are also pretty good. why did i not give this a 5 star rating? because as talented as these guys are, i really would appreciate a lot more variety. they do have two strictly acoustic tracks that hit my ears with a great deal of pleasure, very nice smooth sounding tracks. and i don't think i can say there is any ONE track on this cd that's actually bad. however, being able to listen to the cd in its entirety is very important to me, my interest needs to be held, but on this one it's just kept at bay. i can make it through about 8 tracks at the most and it's because the extreme talent and speed that these guys are capable of are only utilized in one type of music, really, and to be a band that i can personally consider grade A talent, you need to be able to be an actual musician and have different types of sounds to incorporate into your overall sound. for what it is though, these guys are pretty sick."
