Formed in 2005, this Belgian band originally started playing classic hard rock in the style of Deep Purple and Whitesnake, before they gradually evolved into a power/symphonic metal act who have been influenced by Kamelot, Rhapsody and Symphony X among others. I have no idea how they came up with such a (it has to be said) naff band name, but it really is necessary to look past this as what we have here is an album that has a great deal going for it. Singer Tony Carlino has a good strong vocal presence (although there are some times when he doesn’t seem to be totally in key) while Damien Di Fresco is a powerful guitarist (and he also provides all keyboards). The rhythm section of Olivier Lemiere (bass) and Sylvain Godenne (drums) provides a very strong foundation that allows Damien a freedom to move away from straightforward riffing to some wonderfully complex solos and instrumental passages.
