So this album is the second I have heard by the band and, quite honestly, I can barely remember the first album. This one seems to stick out to me a bit more. I really like the vocals first of all. At times they actually sound a bit like Roger Daltrey.
The opening track should be the “walk on” music for Bernie Sanders. Trump fans feel free to skip this track just based on subject matter. For people that do not like rifling drums that might be another reason to take a pass. It can bother me sometimes but not at all with this album as its not constant by any means.
John Mitchell (Frost*, It Bites, Arena) contributes a guitar solo to the track ‘Dark Path’, and vocalist Miguel Espinoza (Persefone) features on the track ‘Possessive’ and I really like both guest spots a lot.
If you are still with me here I can say that I suggest this album. For fans of Dream Theater and other prog metal.
