Absolutely.
As I mentioned before, their guitarist contacted me over a year ago to tell me about this band.
I checked out their demo stuff on their reverbnation and liked what I heard.
No doubt the fact that this band has an ex member of Tokyo Blade and an ex member of Savatage piqued my interest.
That's like saying Kai Hansen WASN'T a reason why anyone first checked out Gamma Ray.
Though this isn't at all the point I was making.
It was simply that most people on forums think that a band that they discovered first is gold.
For the record, that is not the case with REVERENCE.
They are certainly not reinventing anything here. I just think they are good at what they do and truly capture the 80s metal sound without studio trickery........
