Especially the heavy riffs and the clean, but aggressive singing of Marco Piu (a kind of rough version of Jo Amore, Warrel Dane and Russell Allen) are well done. Not that Marco already belongs among those real top singers, but he is on his way. Another thing that sticks out are the guitar (twin) solo's. In a song like "The Mark of Betrayal" we hear a kind of neo-classical inspired solo that really addsy something to the song.
This 5-track (it's really a 4-track, "Endless Line" is an intro) has made some good impressions on me. This promo should be promising enough for record companies to show some kind of interest. And if they add 5-6 new and good songs in the same style there must be a market for their debut album.
Fans of Nocturnal Rites, Dragonland, Mystic Phrophecy, Nightmare, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray, Primal Fear, Evergrey and many more should check them out. Sounds promising...
