Has anyone heard of this Italian band before? I stumbled upon them while I was browsing myspace.
They kinda sound a little like a mix of Heavenly, Rhapsody and Stratovarius. Check them out if you like power/epic metal.

They're okay to solid, but there are much better bands out there, in my opinion.

Both of their CDs are fully reviewed on Metal CD Ratings:

Fans of this style should check out Kyrie Eleison. Full review here:

God no wonder people think the italian metal scene sucks balls.
Go listen to Hour of Penance, this is just a bad version of Rhapsody.

Hour of Penance are a good band...but this is a heavy,prog, and power thread, and theyre a death metal band

Anyway I never thought Italian metal bands suck...there are several good ones out there.

Thanks...great review it covers everything

I guess the best songs they've got are the ones on their myspace page.

Yeah got an add friend request from them also on myspace but didn't check out their music yet. Pretty hard to beat Thy Majestie or Dark Moor for my epic fix.

I agree with you on Thy Majestie. They are fuckin amazing. But I cant seem to like Dark Moor no matter how hard I try. There wasnt a single track on their latest album that I could relate to.

This band are merely ok, but are - a a select few songs aside - the very defintion of generic. Not really worthy of repeated listens.
