Bruce Dickinson’s BBC Radio 6 rock show

A massive thanks to Bruce Dickinson for playing the band on his BBC Radio 6 rock show on Friday 17th July and confirming that he will again play the band on his show on the 7th of August.

The monstrous album closer 'A Monument To The Death Of An Idea' was the track chosen by the legendary Iron Maiden front man and here are some the highlights from what he said about the band...

"This album is most definitely designed as an album. You have to listen to it from start to finish...The album is quite diverse; it ranges far and wide and ideally needs to be savoured in one sitting...... Interesting stuff..."

You can listen to the excerpt from the 17th July show by visiting the bands MySpace page and selecting the 'A Monument To The Death Of An Idea' file on from the media player.

You can read transcripts of every review of the band on our website but below are some of the highlights so far.

Burn Your Ears – Webzine - Germany – 10/10

Outstanding... Awesome.... and Brilliant

Sea Of Tranquillity – Webzine - UK – 4.5 / 5

For a three piece they have a huge, anathematic sound that on the surface often seems light and reflective but with a simmering dark undercurrent that makes for a compelling experience.
To sum up this is wonderfully crafted and executed release and even more importantly ends up being best described as unique. Unquestionably the kind of album that reveals more with each subsequent listen it will be on my playlist for a considerable period of time. Keep an eye out for this band they have a great future ahead of them.

Musik Terrorverlag – Webzine - Germany

Orchestration is exquisite and atmospheric... Each of the three musicians on his instrument is in a class by itself... Dreamy Prog...... A great work of art.

Metalmundus - Webzine - Poland – 9.5 / 10

One of the most interesting progressive rock releases of the year....

Louciferspeaks – Webzine - UK – 9.7 / 10

Enochian Theory have created a mammoth of an album. Filled with monumental landscapes, soaring melodies and a strangely hypnotic quality, this is truly an album that you can get lost in.
Every time I listen to it I spot something I missed before, or develop a mini obsession with a different track. Also, no matter how much you listen to it, it never gets old.

Rock Report – Webzine - Belgium

This is almost 50 minutes of progrock/metal bliss.... Truly inventive musical passages & song structures, efficient instrumentation & singing and above all great songs which make for a great album in general.

Archaic Magazine – Webzine - Belgium

One of the best debut albums I've ever heard.....

These musicians understand perfectly what Progressive means, they are not kidding like some Prog tainted acts, they collect and combine all the music that can be called Progressive with a commendable mastery, from Pink Floyd to Meshuggah, from King Crimson to Mogwai.

You are going to be simply amazed when you listen to this album...

Sound Chaser – Webzine - Croatia

Unique atmosphere..... The sound is rich and luxurious...... 

Silent Scream –Webzine - Italy

Immediate and spontaneous, giving the listener the illusion that we are witnessing a sort of stream of consciousness music also enriched from keyboards and orchestrations.

Metal Norge – Webzine - Norway – 9/10

Massive, beautiful, dimmed, moody, provocative and touching.....

Sonic Dice –Webzine – UK - 5 / 6

The range provided by Enochian theory is more than some can provide throughout a career....
They are set to join the high ranks of other prog-rock and prog-metal bands, such as Dream Theater, Threshold, Rush and Marillion and, for once, they are not a band which has set their bar too high....
This is not just any prog; this is thinking man’s prog.....

Heavy Metal.it – Webzine - Italy – 5 /5

Melancholic, Apocalyptic, Beautiful in their diversity.... A single pathway that branches off in multiple directions, embracing styles and sound leaving space for imagination..., The journey within minutes of the music....This is certainly an experience......

Deadwebzine – Ukraine – 10/10

Very interesting music.... Produced by and unique sound... The music has a perfect contrast between slow cold like ice melodies, spontaneous like fits of anger and incredible walls of massive metal sound.... It’s a unique masterpiece of metal music....

Melodic.net – Webzine - Sweden – 4/ 5

You have got to listen to the album in one piece and then let the soundscape float around in your system. It certainly is progressive and at times also with traces of death metal, but they've got a unique sound. I don't have to tell you it's great now, do I?

Reflections Of Darkness - Webzine – Germany - 8 / 10

For being a three piece act they have a huge sound base that never gives up. It just manages to build and build until its standing above all the rest. To sum this all up is simple, ‘Evolution Creation Ex Nihilio’ by ENOCHIAN THEORY is worthy of a listen one time through, if you go for a second round of it, you'll be drowning in a pool of pure amazement.

Maximum Rock Magazine – Romania – 9/10

Calmative parts have a therapeutic effect.
Frequent changes of rates means the listener does not get tired, and captures their attention.

Heavy Law – Webzine - France

“Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio" will destroy everything in its path! Because here is an opus which, in addition to embracing a diverse musical spectrum, should also attract a large enough public ...

This album is a real nugget that has many apparatuses, all more attractive and hypnotic as the others! This musical entity will win everything in the months and years to come...

Power Of Metal – Webzine - Germany – 80 / 100

Innovative, intelligent and experimental....One of the most colourful and versatile melting pots I've heard for some time... The picture they are painting is abstract, obscure and profound, creating a piece of art that has a lot more to offer than meets the eye...

Evening all

Thought it was time for another update regarding the fortunes of my cousin’s band.

The new album has been officially out for about a month now and they’re beginning to get some excellent feedback...speaking of which...
