The Review:

I was first approached online by Pravda to sample their music, which I found to be very enjoyable. Then the band sent me their latest, and second, album Walking Though Walls. The band hails from the Pacific Northwest, and can be best described as an instrumental progressive metal band that touches on the Jam band genre. They also touch on some jazz and classical styles with some really good results.

Just imagine Dream Theater mixed with Phish or Umphrey's McGee and you get the picture. I think they’re beyond those bands, just taking the best elements in creating some very well done songs. This has to be one of the surprises of 2006 that should be noticed more. Hopefully on their third release, that will change. Good stuff here and I’d say get a copy ASAP!
