Review

Coming across as powerful, fairly straightforward prog metal, this one is based pretty heavily in the tradition of '80s metal. Within this format, the music moves between various styles, at times getting quite dark and contemplative and with other moments that seem to call to mind a metallic take on the stylings of prog groups like Yes. All in all, this is a fairly original take on the prog metal genre and should be an interesting excursion for fans of that type of music. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
