This heavy prog album from Portland is packed with energy. I actually was not that enamored with the beginning of this album, but by the third track my ears perked up and I really started enjoying their sound which could be said to be reminiscent of Audioslave.

If you are a fan of heavier rock I think this is a good album for you. I would even consider it gateway prog for fans of Audioslave and Sound Garden.

I have a few of my favorite songs listed below. Why not request one and check it out for yourself.
