Man, I've been searching for something like this for so long. Every other Progressive Metal Band I've listened to was mostly just hard guitar riffs and screams. This album beautifully balances melodic guitar-sounds with clean vocals and screams! Also I love bands, that just stand out from the rest, that sound unlike anything else out there (Cyrenic, Waking Tera, The ReAction) and for me Koronus is one of those special bands!

It's somehow nostalgic and new at the same time, brings me back to when I first started listening to metal. You definitely have a new fan.

Whose the voice that "appeared" in "Wraith"!?? That should be the voice of yours sound, guys. The only issue I found in yours album is the lead vocal, the clean voice needs more "depth, warmth and richness" {Phil Anselmo... did you hear these two lads!? C'mon man... c'mon... they need ya ma man!} to make you really stand out. Taking 3 songs I'd pick out of it {in timeline progress}: "Discovery", because hooked me and perfectly defines this 1st listening of mine to this album and duo; "Wraith", because of the "different" and better vocal side that made it the best track for me, the most promising one; "Exiled", because describes all the best parts of the whole album and makes me want more. Clean voice aside and a couple of pulled too far moments in which the listening became slightly difficult, this album sounds solid and really promising... an "8 stars out of 10" album for me. Well done, guys, well done. The Police had to be 3 guys, to achieve their absolute greatness over any genre, hence...
