The debut album from this band from India.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
A Christian band from a very remote part of India.... I never thought I was ever going to write these lines. But this quintet and their record label Frontiers Records has proven me wrong.
It has to be said that their Christian beliefs has been toned down on this, their debut album, and that the band is now a more secular band. The band also deserve a contract with a multi-national record label like Frontiers as they are a very talented band. Young and talented.
Their music is a mix of old, 1970s hard rock and these days progressive metal. References are as varied as Rainbow, Fates Warning and Dream Theater.
The music is also pretty melodic. The screaming vocals is a bit annoying and far over the top at times. The rest of the band does a far better job on their respective instruments.
Not all the music is good here. The vocals is also barely decent. That said, there is a lot to enjoy on this album. The band is talented and they may go far. This band is one of the very few new prog metal bands worth keeping under observation. I hope we will hear a lot more from them in the future.
