I picked up my copy at Nightmare Fest, and it smokes. Excellent power metal in the vein of old Queensryche and Omen with just a touch of Savatage. Great guitar work and cool vocals. The fourth track "In The Know" is worth the purchase alone. If you like great straight forward power metal, you should check out this band!
 
I dug "Season of Reign". The singer has a bit of Barlow in his voice. I felt the songwriting needed a bit more work, but overall the band is solid. I'm curious to check out the new disc.
