Smart and progressive!! Each track getting better and better from the beginning to end. Great guitars and nice time changes. No sappy keyboards bringing "sweet" textures - A progressive band that ROCKS!!!

Progressive power metal!
author: Laura T. Lynch of Kweevak.com
The Legacy has a sound reminiscent of Guns and Roses but has its own distinct flavor. This CD is a saga of songs that smoothly merges into another as the tempo and tones subtly change. Steady strong percussion and bass lines back fast frenzied guitars. Throughout the CD are solid metal guitar solos. The lyrics by Mike Kischnick are forceful and frightening - addressing issues of darkness, uncertainty and the search for truth. The CD opens with ‘Solace’ flowing into ‘The Lighter Side of Darkness (Part 1),’ both have powerful instrumentation and the lyrics are riveting as they warn of blood red skies and being left behind. ‘The Legacy’ is also a powerful tune that leads the listener on a twisted, turning journey of bridges and musical jams. The acoustic Years Behind is a good close to this metal CD that has many moods.
