I know most
bands don't like to be put in a box, to get a label on them, but to give the
readers a fair chance to figure out what to expect I do try to place each band
stylistic. They state bands like Dream Theater, Katatonia, Opeth, In Flames,
Faith No More and Tool among many influences on their MySpace page, and when the
first chords bursting out of the speakers make me think of Pain of Salvation,
and then they fall into the category Progressive Metal in my world.
Three songs
really isn't much to judge them on, but those three songs show so much quality
and promise that they should easily gain some well deserved recognition among
progressive metal fans. Their innovative and alternative rock/metal sound offers
the listeners a real challenge, and their off-beat and out-of-the-box rhythms
sound refreshing and rather special. 'Away from the Watching Eye' makes me want
to hear more, want to hear what they can do on a full length album. Hopefully
some label executive hears the same creativity and promise from these three
intense and captivating songs that I did.
Check
all three songs out on MySpace.
