Their full debut album is streaming at www.myspace.com/viathyn
I read about them at random and checked it out. It's pleasantly listenable power metal with good, tight musicianship, thoughtful song arrangements, and shredding guitar solos. Not original or experimental, but they "carry the torch" quite well so if you like power metal you may want to listen here. For a young band's first album it's pretty impressive.
The lush keyboard pads along with the arrangements give it a bit of a "soundtrack" type feel. Sometimes it reminds me of Thy Majestie, other times of While Heaven Wept. The album was just released two weeks ago. (The intro to the album is actually last on the Myspace tracks - you may want to click down and hear it first because it's a really cool opener)
