Wow, that vocalist has quite a set of pipes! This sounds like a band to keep an eye on.

EDIT: Fuck me Jesus, I've had Canon on repeat at least 10 times now! These guys have some serious talent. If they would have used those riffs and solos for a full song it could have been awesome.

These guys seriously blew me away when I saw them. If there was ever a band who deserve to get signed right this second, Engage is it.

holy shit! that was awesome, I cant believe the singer, everything was perfectly in tune except a few of those insanely high notes right at the very end. they almost did too many solos in one song though, thats about my only slight complaint, not even really a complaint though, this is the type of metal we need to support

Hmmm...I missed this one. This is really good, VERY similar to Cellador musically. The vocalist is a little different, but I can see NESS making love to this band.

CD ordered! Thanks, Kayla! :)

These guys are sweet. I'm getting into Cellador, so it's natural that I'd like these guys...I downloaded the two songs from their MySpace.

These guys are damn amazing. Their singer has more balls than half the power metal scene and the fact that everyone in the band is under 20 makes them even more appealing. They'll definitely grow to be a great band if they keep at it.

it's hard to believe most of these guys are 20!!

like you guys said, if they keep at it they can go on to make some fine music!

I actaully dont think they sound as much like celledor as much as all of thier influences that they list on their myspace site. They dont include those powerful blastbeats like celledor and dragonforce do

I just got this today, listened through twice. They most definitely sound like Cellador, very much so, in fact! What a killer demo it is, too!

Sadly, it's a damn CDR. Me be hatin' CDRs!! Cheap, though, so it's all good. This demo rivals Enter Deception. Seriously.

Not sure how many of you bought this demo, but they've got a new one out, and it's waaaay better. These guys play extremely fast, but they write killer tunes. The bass lines are sick, too, and it's the singer playing. Listen to the MySpace tunes and stuff, but check this LIVE VIDEO out first. You should be impressed.

The new 3-song demo is $5. Their first was just a CDR, but done as well as that sort of release can be done. It was also cheap. But it looks like that's not available anymore. Anyway, definitely a band worth checking out. They should appeal to a lot of you.

The new demo cover (looks like Drizzt):

The 2005 demo is no longer available, so ripped it and scanned the insert for someone else. If anyone wants it, here it is:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=34YVDSPP

Tracks plus inserts. The inserts I scanned and pieced together in Photoshop. They're 3 panels, so you'd need some longer paper or card stock if you want to print them out.

Enjoy!
