KKKK in Kerrang today. The headline is: "Devastating debut from British metalsmiths".

I guess they'd not heard of "Eight Moons" but never mind. It's a decent review. The album is featured in the Virgin Megastore advert too.

8/10 in Classic Rock, but it reads like a 10/10! Great review! I was worried I might have to send them a poo in the post as they're notoriously hard to please, but with a score like this I'll have to pop the turd back in the freezer.

BIOMECHANICAL
The Empires Of
The Worlds
Earache
Awe-Inspiring power metal
from London.

Yes at long last a British Power Metal
Band capable of competing with the best
Scandinavia has to offer.
This is Biomechanicals second album,
but their first to get a proper nationwide
release. There are hints of Queensryche,
Priest and Dream Theatre here a few
Dimebag-style power grooves too but
on tracks like Assaulter and Enemy Within
this London fivesome hammer out a
jaw-dropping sonic template all of their own.
Guitarists Chris Webb and Jamie Hunt are a
dazzling partnership, trading warp-speed shred
solos with a fluidity that recalls Dream Theatre
widdler John Petrucci. With their Screeching
avant-metal bombast, staggering instrumental
virtuosity, and super-cool HR Giger-inspired
artwork. Biomechanical are simply a phenomenal
band who deserve your immediate attention.
