Halcyon Way.

Have you heard this? Sort of a cross of thrash with progressive metal and the singer is very strong.

I thought this band was going to be signed by Bombworks. Decent stuff, nothing out of the ordinary.

I disagree with the last part of your post. I really like what they did on this disc and feel that it has a feel unlike others in the genre and the nightmare label. Gets many plays around my house. Each to their own I guess.

It just didn't grab me from what I heard online. Maybe if I had the album, I might have a different opinion.

I have their song 'Blind Eyes' from a sampler I got at ProgPower UK 2007. A very enjoyable song with fantastic vocals, but for some reason I never really looked in to the band further. I should really rectify that.

gotta go with grand national, sounds ordinary

I LOVE Halcyon Way! Of course, I am a homer and biased as all get out, at that! D'OH!

Their latest album is pretty good. I don't have the previous works to compare, but I'd say they have a very promising future if they continue to play at the caliber they did on the latest album. Good stuff!

I gave it a 10/10 and I'm getting to know the band members personally. These guys have got to be seen live in person to be truly believed. What a great bunch of talented musicians!

I'm listening to Manifesto For Domination now...boring. Sounds like a Hard Rock band you'd hear on the radio blended with a tiny bit of Melodic Metal...comes off very shallow and fake sounding.

Oh well, I still love these guys and can't wait to witness them again live!

To each their own, I guess...listened to it for a second time seeing if it'd come alive a little...it got worse...I had to struggle to sit through most of it without hitting "Skip" on my iPod...
