Description

What can one say about this - it is a totally excellent release. Coming out of nowhere, this band take all the conventions of progressive metal (a la Dream Theater, Queensryche et al) yet come up with something which cannot be compared to any other band. The album is conceptual, based around the fears of a man who works in a nuclear weapons factory and realises the threat to humanity is entails. Well, that aside, this album is excellent in the way in which it combines technical proficency with some cracking songs. Daniel Gildenlow is an amazing vocalist - his range is utterly superb, and somemore… of the notes he hits are beyond belief. The music changes time quicker than I change my pants, but its done in a sophisticated style much like the Theater do. The guitars are really good, and rather than going for the overblown soloing approach, they tend to focus on structured technicality - check out the second song for a totally awesome riff. The down side is the bass and the drum sound - while both are played well, the snare on the drums is nothing short of terrible, and the bass sound is a little flat unfortunately. However, this does not detract from an album that has been well thought out and excellently executed. Go buy now.
