Here's some professional, "stainless-steel", commercial metal. These boys from Northeast Ohio have pulled off a highly-polished metal album that leans in the progressive/power metal genre, with excursions into gritty Blues-metal. They maintain an aggressive edge while pulling off a clean sound - which is magnified by digital mastering and the cd format. The production here is some of the finest you'll hear on an independent release...Very impressive. To order, send $10 for tapes and $15 (plus $2 shipping for domestic orders and $5 for foreign orders) to: PO Box 334, Northfield OH 44067.
