PEACE AMONG THE RUINS

Nice debut album bu this US band which is the ''child'' of METAL CHURCH's guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof.Kurt tries really hard in this work to catch the spirit of 70's prog movement and blend it with the modern sound,technologies and productions of progressive rock...The result is a very good hard progressive album with strong musicianship and beautiful vocals by Scott Albright...

Main influenes come from KANSAS (just listen to ''Speed of time''),RUSH and YES with a harder sound flirting with DREAM THEATER...I really can't tell which song is best as all of them are quite good with nice keyboards,very nice vocals and strong guitar work by Vanderhoof himself...An accesible format of music packaged under progreesive rock influences...This is an album that can't be easily heard also by fans of other music styles...An excellent propose especially for fans of KANSAS,RUSH,ENCHANT or MAGELLAN...3.5 stars!
