It’s simply impossible to label this band with one particular genre. The music contains so many influences yet nothing specific really pops up. The album is truly a piece of art which everybody could like. Don’t expect anything extremely heavy and pounding. Especially the voice of vocalist Joey Eppard gives this music a unique, soft and melodic twist. But the other guys certainly know what they’re doing as well. Listen for example to the (instrumental) song ‘Bramfatura’. You’ll probably think you’re listening to a Spanish/Latin guitarband. Real nice song though! Other songs I really recommend are ‘Alien Angel’ and ‘Where’s Max’.

 

Every now and then some small Tool parts pop up in the music and although I don’t know any music of Coheed and Cambria, this music probably is a must for fans of that band. Why? Well, here’s what Claudio Sanchez (C&C) had to say about this band: “One of the few moderns bands I truly consider to be great, an inspiration to me and all the members of Co&Ca. This is important.” If this isn’t convincing yet, let me quote Travis Stever (C&C) then: “One of the best, live or on record. We’re lucky to have a band like 3 in 2005.”

 

As you might found out while reading this review, I totally dig this band. It’s something completely different from everything else and I think everyone should give it a try. Luckily they put the song ‘Alien Angel’ online at the Metal Blade Records website (http://www.metalblade.com) ‘cause that song is just great. Really gives me the shivers.
