Lovers of melodic metal will thrill over this band's indie release - Ten More Tales. I'm reminded of the melodic vocals of Dream Theater's James LaBrie and the tasteful progressiveness of Queensryche. What's super about this band is that they can compete on this level. Lyrically, the band avoids any upfront references to Jesus, but uses much imagery that makes sense. The sound is slick and powerful. See for yourself on this issue's Hard Music Sampler CD.
