Halcyon Way-Building The Towers

Ok, i'm not a creative writer like many of you but I think some of you would like this album. I struggle to describe it, kind of a Communic or Nevermore sound, heavy but clean vocals. This album has a new singer who is more traditional sounding but the music is still great, sort of progressive at times but not like a DT. Probably in my top 5 this year.

Anything with a Communic sound gets me interrested
I like the sound of this, though i have been more into rougher/angrier singers lately.
Definitely something i will pick up in the future.

The music is good stuff.The vocals are a little too clean.If he had a little more charisma in his voice it would be great!

I'd have to agree with Thrasher. I played a few tunes because the Nevermore/Communic tag got me interested. Talented bunch, but it's a little too clean and polished for me these days.

Great band. I have long been awaiting this! I hung out with them at Rocklahoma!

Finally, someone whose taste are as good as mine.

I'm going to have to order this, I can't find it anywhere around here.

Yeah, it's an online only album.

I'll have to check it out.....

You should, I really think if people listened to more then samples many would like this.

I would probably like it seeing as I liked A Manifesto for Domination, which was one of my many blind buys that turned out real well. I however, a'm going to have to cut down on new releases (hell even on used ones) until my finances can catch up with my spending so I might not get it anytime soon.

I got the new one last week and i love it!!!

I was not sure if I enjoyed this new one or the last one more, but after repeated listens over the last few weeks, Building The Towers is the better of the two. Like the new vocalist a tad more than the last guy, and the band has come up with even more killer riffs and melodies this time out.
As far as it being an online only release, I know that the label has signed a distribution deal with RED, a division of Sony, and that future label releases are to be available at the chains and independents that do business with RED. Time I guess will tell.
