Some of the greatest unsigned Power Metal musicians, Ascension. They are releasing their first album soon and put up a sampler track on their myspace. Steve knows them and can tell you about them from personal experience if he feels like it. They are similar to PQ in the way they interact with their fans, a few of them even claim me as a mate, and not just a facebook friend. They are very talented musicians, good people, and the music itself is amazing. Please just check out the sample track!
