Abscence of Time

June 14th, 2024

I dropped the ball on this one. Recently I missed a chance see to this band live. I also totally missed the boat on the new album. Next thing I know the album is out and the band is out and about playing shows. I enjoyed the 2022 album Trail of Souls: Samsara. I thought I knew what the new music would sound like, but the new songs, to my ears, are more muscular than I expected. I sense more crunch on the guitars and a heavier sound, while still keeping their traditional metal featuring singing, catchy choruses, melodic guitar solos and a groovy rhythm section. Having seen them live before, I can tell you that they do a good job of representing live renditions of their music. In fact, the time I saw them they had some technical difficulties, and they kept on like champs with the motto "the show must go on" and it did go on. I liked them even more for find-ing a way to tough it out. Anyway, if you enjoy melodic metal, you might like to know that here in the Seattle region, we have this band delivering some memorable melodic songs with the sound of classic rock and heavy metal.
