REVIEWS

Awesome Neoclassical Progmetal
author: Lamneth
This is sort of like Malmsteen without the annoying Yngwie fella. The guitar work is toned down and the keyboards play a more dominant role, which is naturally expected since this the band is named after a pair of keyboardists. Romeo does do a fine job with the guitar work on the CD. The melodies are stong and this is one of Goran Edman's better performances on any album of his that I've heard him do, with the exception of perhaps Karmakanic. Valhall Scuffle is a fast-paced instrumental with one of the most unreal drum performances I've heard. This album has it all: Power-driven metal, slower ballads, great hooks, and most importantly a memorable album. If you like this album, also check out Harmony - Dreaming Awake or the new Harmony album.

Interesting combination of keyboard and guitars.
author: Last Viking
I really liked a few songs. The second instrumental in particular. But overall, I found it lacking. I think the keyboards often drowned out the brilliant guitar of Michael Romeo... I think the keyboards were good, but would have been better if more integrated into the music rather than standing out like they did.
