I'll start off by saying that this is a great
disc. I have Delerium Veil and thought it was pretty good, but this one is chock full of great songs.
The sound is described well on their home page so I won't try to top it..."combination of dynamic guitar work, catchy vocal lines, peculiar synth sounds and arrangements, hard driving
drums and the mood of 80's hard rock."
Not the heaviest of albums, but some of this guitar work is killer.
It seems there is always something going on so there are no 'dead' spots in this high-energy music. The keyboards give
it a nice extra flavor without being overbearing or dominant over the rest of the band. The drums and bass are solid.
Vocally and lyrically it is a little different than what you might here.
Lyrically, they use words and combinations that seem a bit odd...quirky if you will. Name another band that used the
word "lubricious" in their song. (tick tock tick tock) Didn't think so. Combine this with vocals that sometimes seem
to sound a little out of control but seem to work very well with both the high energy style and the slower stuff as well.
A pretty intense voice, he is definitely singing his ass off.
What are you reading this for? Go buy it.
Favorites: Diamonds of Mankind, Into Treason, Victim of Deceit, The Fiend,
the worst song is above average.
