Ok so I haven't had a chance to listen to anything more than just half of one song (My wife said the kids needed to watch "Tangled" so that means I have to turn the speakers off on the computer....drat) lol. But it sounds like melodic metal/power metal kind of band and they are offering their debut album for a free download.
Check them out for yourself.

Ok I've listened to three tracks now and the "power metal" label doesn't fit this band (it was really just the drums in the video that was making think that). The music is a modern sounding AOR/melodic metal. Fantastic stuff, the lyrics are very cool as well. It's only January 1st, but I expect this will probably be one of my favorite albums for 2012.

I'm not crazy about his voice, but the music and lyrics are top notch! Heck for a free download, I think I can get over that though! Haha

Sounds like my Zune is hungry. I shall feed this album to it and see if it burps out great sounding tunes.

Good stuff! Progressive, but in a melodic and accessible way. I likes it.

Oh yes I was going to do that but the headphones just broke recently and I haven't taken the time to replace them.

I finally got to listen to this today during my walk at lunch. I must say that the songs are very catchy. I was well surprised by the overall quality of this release. Could I have stumbled upon the best of 2012 so soon?

I expect it will probably be near the top of my list for 2012.

I just downloaded and burned this one. Big Dream Theater/Rush/Queensrich fan here! I REALLY love Prog! Kind like what we would have likely been doing by now if Ascension had stayed together. My old band Ascension we broke up back in 1995. All these but the first are my tunes man I miss writing/playing this kind of stuff! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=2684714 http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=5955134 http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=1815167 http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=1817376

Prog? Really? I don't hear that at all. This is straight up melodic hard rock IMO. This album is FANTASTIC. I have been spinning it a lot. BTW, if you email the band, they will send you the higher quality mp3 files.
