The band delivers cleaver and inteligent power/thrash metal. Their music stands out from the more A4-power metal bands in the way the band approach their songs. In stead of galloping power chords and the ordinary castrated vocal sound, the band focuses on the dark, and sounds more like a cross of Sanctuary and Overkill than Helloween or Blind Guardian. And what makes them even more exiting is how they mix their powerful dark sound with a healthy dose of old fashoined 80's style Thrash Metal.


The band tractates their instruments in a way that both shows great musicianship, without sounding like "wannabe's". They just sounds damn good!


You can visit the bands MySpace site to get an idea of the band, but you really should order a copy of this masterpiece.
