I know this has been reviewed here a while back but did not get much attnetion, so i am making an attempt to draw a little more for these Independent power metallers.
For those who like the style in the vien of Statovarious and especially Sonata Arctica (with a touch of the Six Magics sound!) I can even here hints of Dark Moor and maybe a little of the Altaria sound (you get the idea!) then I think you will like this as well. I have been listening to it for a lot and I find it hard to believe they are not on a decent label yet.

I think the only way as of now to obtain the album is thru the website via paypal.

Excellent melodic power metal

I'm supposed to receive a promo from the band, but I was expecting it a few weeks ago. Hopefully it will arrive soon... :cool:

This is pretty damn good. I'm listening to Walking Alone from their Myspace and this is impressive. Nothing new, but fucking damn good. The singer could take some lessons though.

The singer brings this band down a little, he can go impressively high but is quite annoying.

I don't really think they sound a lot like Sonata Arctica, but I always find myself associating the two. I guess its down to the icy imagery.

Yeah, I've heard and known this before but don't have the album yet. I really like them, also the singer even if he ain't perfect, he has the enthusiasm.

Trapped in a dream from myspace is great! :dio: Reminds me of the classic Italian power metal bands circa 2000 :wub:

Got this today! :D
It was soooo long ago I heard samples, this is going to be a fresh listen for me. Expect a full review on MCDR in February (for those who are interested in my take.... hehehe). :wink:

yes, this is indeed a great album, one of my favorites!
It's sad though that it is hard to find.... even if i live here, in Quebec!
