The album is Decay part 1, you can buy a CD package containing both parts on two discs, but only part 1 seems to be available to listen and buy digitally. Part one has seven tracks but they're not short. They're asking a meagre amount and it may be the first time I've doubled the asking price because I felt it was worth more.
They're playing (and dressing) classic heavy metal and doing it very well. They remind me of Walpyrgus; melodic, but powerful and no-nonsense, with plenty of tempo and style changes within tracks to add interest. Musically the sound is well-layerd, professional and polished and the songwriting is top.
The only criticism I can make is that the inexperience shows a little in the vocals, particularly on the power ballad Broken Cage. That's not to say that they're difficult to listen to, just that in a couple of albums' time they'll be even better.
Five stars, Looking forward to part 2.
★★★★★
