Just received a promo of this Swedish combo's debut album...I'm not even all the way thru my first spin, but I had to do a quick post about'em cuz you prog-metal fans are gonna eat this one up. The label hype sez that they're for fans of Savatage, Evergrey and Queensryche, and that description covers it pretty well... I can hear quite a bit of all three of those in this band (with their own unique flavor of course). It's a concept album about two people in a fortified city during the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, finding love and dealing with loss ... kind of a combination of George Romero's "Land of the Dead" and TV's "Lost." Neat stuff. The album is available thru Burning Star Records in Europe and Sensory/Laser's Edge here in the US.

Peep the sound samples on their MySpace page and feel free to comment!

I scored this in a trade a month or so ago...

it's pretty good....Not something I listen to loads and loads but a solid well made metal disc.

Almost has a MINDCRIME era- QUEENSRYCHE feel to it....

I heard this awhile back and it is ok nothing great, I'd recommend Pathosray, Vougan, Adamind over them!

This is a Sensory release, right? It's on my want list. Anything Ken puts out through Sensory is a must-buy for me.

Yup it is!

Pathosray has been on my list for a while. The MP3 on the site sounds killer.

Anyone like Canvas Solaris?
