I actually listened to the clips last night and I thought they were pretty good. This band is like the Monty Python of Metal! Hahaha.

Mike, is this CD a real CD or did they send a CDR?

it's always welcome when a power metal band doesn't take itself too seriously! especially when the music rocks, as in this case. reminds me of Overlorde, another great old-school power metal group.

Monty Python, HA. That's especially true during the spoken parts of Lost in the Goddamazon. This also reminds me of some of the humor Tobias Sammet injects into his music (ie. Fucking With Fire).

BTW, they sent a CD-r with a promo sheet. As I heard with the music, I can see with this cd-r that the guys don't have a lot of money to play with, but they try and do the best with what they have. The band used an inkjet printer to label the cd, unlike some bands who scribble their name on the cd-r with a magic marker. Not a bad package for a peanuts and shoestring budget.

I may have to write to them and request a copy. They said they "re-pressed" it. Hahaha! How do you re-press a CDR with an inkjet-printed booklet?

I love the front page of their site, the album cover and title and the song names! Hahaha.

Pretty good! Although frankly it has almost nothing to do with Omen and Manilla Road on the musical front, it's still very enjoyable and I agree about the mediocre vocals. Imagine a 3-inches of blood style vocal performance on this one, it would be great! Anywayz, judged as a demo, it's very promising indeed, although I don't know what following this type of metal can aquire, since it will put off "modern" metalheads due to it's old school character, and old school metalheads because it makes fun of epic cliche's :lol:
