Modern metal is how the label describes them. The band claim that they are more of a rock band but such a band not wanting to be confined within a single genre. I think both of those descriptions are equally good, it can be described as modern metal or diverse rock music that is hard to label within the confines of one genre. The vocalist is a fairly typical rock singer, the guitar sound is good and interesting. Modern and good production on an album with a fair bit of variation over eleven tracks. The playing time is quite short, not too long which is always a good thing.
It is a very good album, the songs are strong with good sound and everything. The vocals work really well with the sound of this band. As a matter of fact, I think that all parts that make up the sound of this album are very strong, these guys clearly know what they are doing and they are doing it so well so I quickly run out of clever things to say about them and their second album. I like this album a fair bit and I can recommend it to anyone who likes their music fresh, modern and exciting.
There is a trio of songs that I think stand out a bit on this album, the opening duo Synthesis No. 1 and Rhapsody are very strong tracks that I really like. They set a good tone for the album and it follows up quite strongly and peaks on the tenth track Mockery which is the highlight of the album and it is a brilliant track that ends the album well. With that it doesn’t matter that I don’t really like the ending cowboy song Lucky Luke because one slight mishap on an otherwise really strong album is a thing you can overlook. I think it may not be so bad to head into the fire with these guys.
HHHHHHH
