All of this great music for $5?!

Talk about massive! Revelation Project have more layers to their sound than a mobster's lasagna! Fat with keyboards throughout, RP's sound produces walls of harmonics and tosses in a variety of pleasant and unexpected elements as well. Absolutely worth every penny of your $5 :-D

I can\'t think of a better way to wake up in the morning than by sticking this CD into the player and getting an earful of symphonics and smashing guitar riffs. This is an excellent piece of work, much like a rock opera, that doesn\'t mince words and cuts right to the heart with its straightforward lyrics. A definite must-have for lovers of prog metal.

Progressive Metal
author: AngelicWarlord.com
Western New York based Revelation Project moves in an unequivocal progressive metal direction on its 14-track and seventy-six minute long independently released self-titled debut. Approaching its art in a very technical and complex manner, Revelation Project possesses a sound certain to appeal to fans of Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, Threshold, Theocracy, Pursuit and a host of others within the same genre. After being put together in the spring of 2001 by founding members Graeme Swallow and bassist Dave Jonathan, Revelation Project started out as a one-time showcase at the Kingdom Bound festival that same year. Following its debut performance, however, the band decided to continue on with keyboardist Chelsea Wagner, lead vocalist Tom Bender and drummer Russ Stack joining the ranks over the succeeding three years.
While Bender might not have the talent to match the likes of Russ Allen (Symphony X) or Mike Baker (Shadow Gallery), he displays good dynamics and range in putting forth a very commendable and emotionally charged vocal performance. Swallow is a talented musician who contributes a rock solid rhythm guitar sound in addition to best displaying his lead guitar abilities on tracks such as "Children" and "Liars". Wagner proves quite the skillful keyboardist, adding just the right amount of texture to the bands sound without coming across overbearing. Stack and Jonathan comprise a tight sounding rhythm section.
