Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Ex-Taker/ex-Armageddon guitarist PJ Bussey teams up with his wife, Ellyn Bussey, along with other ex-Armageddon players Rob Lee (drums) and Danny Wilkinson (bass) for a creative combo of progressive rock and power metal. It doesn't sound like anything Armageddon recorded, though it does remind you of their guitar tone. The band has some good ideas, like the breaks before each chorus in "Down In The Valley," but I don't think they're quite ready to go in the studio for a big budget album. There's some good guitar work, like the harmonies in "Interlude/Into The Calm."
