This CD is nothing short of awesome! This band is talented and very refinded as far technique goes. They could have been one of those bands that is so good that they border on mediocrety; but they have achieved greatness and technique simultaneously.The production is super tight, and the album is so well done that I have listened to it at least 6 times and I'm still excited every time I here it.If your looking for a metal album, the first track is about all your going to get. What you get instead is awesome songwriting and arranging with heavy metal influences. The metal is there, it's just not center stage all the time.This album has made it in my top 10 list...and that's pretty difficult to do.The first time I heard of this band was on my favorite Internet radio station, www.Reignradio.com. This is the most super awesome thing to happen to the internet in at least a year! Check it out sometime.
