    Kite is a new name to me. This Swedish band consists of five members including singer Josef Magnusson. His singing makes me think of Kane and even musically there's a comparison to be made. Often songs are structured with mellow verses and heavier choruses. One of the most interesting songs, Pray, has that structure as well as Kite. The last song describes the motto of the people in the band: "This story about the Kite is how I want my life to be." Kite leaves no doubt about their Christian backgrounds. Even though the core of the album is melodic rock music, there are also a few mellow songs. Overall the album isn't very heavy nor very progressive but the production is good. If it's their debut (I'm not sure) it's a fairly good start.
