    Power metal hungry fans will be glad to hear Antithesis' progression as a band. Besides throwing in a lot of good ideas into their progressive power metal attack, they are sounding tighter and the songs are sounding leaner and meaner (I know that sounds like an oxymoron within prog rock circles, but it's true). James Lewis' vocals rock with that Bruce Dickinson sound, which add a commercial melodic element to the overall feel, rather than just vocal noodling. Now signed to Nightmare Records, this band will start getting their music out to more people.
