Press reviews
"Instrumental hard rock, with some moderately technical passages. This band would remind of the likes of: Maximum Indifference, Xang, & Priam, though much less keyboard ladened as the latter two. They reside in a similar fashion next to bands like Rush, & Tiles from a musical standpoint. Important to mention that this is not progmetal, as the tones of all instruments are more on the hard rock side, much akin to the aforementioned bands. They focus on ensemble play rather than solo excess, and all members are very good musicians. It's music like this that makes some instrumental bands well worth finding, and they certainly have a fitting name. Mike Ohm, has a wide array of guitar tones that he utilizes, affecting every song with his well suited playing, at times he reminds me of Eric Johnson, or Alex Lifeson, and yes those are extremes, and all are encompassed on this cd." - MJBrady, Prognosis
