    If this band would've been around in my record collection 10 years ago, I would love 'em. I'd think I had discovered the hottest new obscure Metal band around. But, alas, it is 1992 and this music, although performed well and with zeal, is outdated. "Holy, Holy Holy" appears here, with a very cool medieval feel to it, especially the gothic, ancient choral chanting intro; but guys, 10 measures of "Oh-oh-oh-oh's" is a bit overkill (especially after two measures of the guitar doing the same thing precedes it!), don't ya think? The guitar leads at the end are tasteful and performed well. I'd suggest these guys focus their talents in another, more relevant direction.
