When I first heard of this band, I was psyched. I'm a huge Diamond/Fate fan, and absolutely love the Denner/Shermann combo - as a team, these guys are JUST as good as Tipton/Downing or Murray/Smith.
Anyway, I've read many poor reviews of the debut, and the samples I heard (not many, I must say) didn't show me much.
Can you describe this album? Are the riffs in the same vein/style as classic Fate? Is the singer really as dreadful as the reviewers all claim he is?
Any project that includes Fate/Diamond guys has to be a quality project.....but I'm not sold yet.
