That is great news! I started to go to the extremes (Mexico and Europe) to find Eyes of the Oracle via-web. Now I wont stress it. Since you have mentioned an additional track will be added to the re-release, will this call for Eyes of the Oracle to be re-mastered?

Looking forward to getting Rooms of Anguish sometime soon.

For Rooms, Power of Omens is clearly working and playing in a collective conciseness (the zone) with a shared vision. As Power of Omens is not a band of egos but a band dedicated to the group expression of the art that is prog. metal. I look forward to what the future holds for Power of Omens. I will be visiting the forum often, but not always posting.
Peace,

Call it fate or call it luck but I over the weekend I was able to find Eyes of the Oracle on the web and the order arrived today. I have yet to sit through it all. Yet, at first sampling it is impressive! It will be good to hear the evolution and growth over time; with out Eyes there would be no Rooms.
By chance, did Alex study under Mark Zonder formally at any time? There seems to be some similarities of approach to a song as Alex uses his kit (patterns & fills) to support the song (in nuance and structure) as Mark Z. has become know for in Fates. I think this approach is more common in Jazz/fusion then it is in metal. It may not be ear friendly to some but it is a mark of a drummer’s drummer and maybe understood as technical too.
Oh! By the way, I like the heavy of your seven string over the six recorded on Eyes. The difference is clear and VERY COOL! Heavier the ax the harder the blade falls!
