By C.W. Ross
This is the fifth release from the band.
The band's music is a blend of gothic, power and doom metal styles.
The 14 track release last almost one full hour and plays like a musical play centering around the theme of mystical dragons.
The songs are very rich and include many different layers to achieve their sound.
The songs also contain a blend of both more lyrical female verses provided by new band member Tamara Venus Star along with more haunting brooding male ones.
The release ends with, Dragon Haze an instrumental track that without words conveys a mystical battle with its space laser like sounds.
I can really appreciate the time and effort that the band must have spent to achieve the music found on this release.

These guys & girl have been in the scene for a little while now. They play a combination of Rock Metal & Fantasy all mixed together. Most of their music is based on Dragon Mythology &stuff related to Dragons. This is where the Fantasy type atmosphere comes into play. They have a Classic Rock sound with tinges of Metal all through out. At times there are some almost Death Metal like parts, especially in the vocals. There is a mixture of Male & Female vocals as well. I have heard their past releases & would have to say this is thier best release to date. If your into Fantasy Rock & Metal with a World vibe then you'll dig this band a lot.
