Good guitars in this band. Nice and speedy and still melodic with sweet solos. Not sure about the vocals as he seems a bit out of control like he's trying too hard to scream his balls out and it's not coming effortlessly. Beware the opening song is a Dio tribute. I can't say for a fact, but it sounds like this might have actually been written after Dio's death though I could be wrong. The track itself is a scorcher with sweet tasty guitar licks and squeals with those wailing vocals. Their other material is similarly fast and hell for leather speedy. Basically sounds like Maiden on acid or Maiden mixed with early Annihilator. Eyes in the Night is a great tune. I quite enjoy the myspace songs but don't love it and the guitars smoke if nothing else.

This band reminds me a lot of Jackal.....The Swedish band, not the bar stool chainsaw band..... I like it, singer is at times out of control a little.
