Shattered Destiny: Prog Metal?

Saw 'flash' ad for this lot at the top of this very page right here on progarchives...& guess what? - No mention of them in the forum anywhere! 
So...
Formed in early 2011, Shattered Destiny is a progressive power/thrash band created by lead singer/songwriter JJ. The unique blend of musical influences forms a niche within the metal world. The EP features Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Warlord) on drums. The “Fragments” EP was released on March 20, 2012.
“Fragments” was recorded in Rogue Studios Sweden by Martin Brändström (Dark Tranquillity) under the supervision of Joacim Cans (HammerFall) in early 2012. Pontus Norgren (HammerFall) — who brilliantly created a heavy, powerful, yet contemporary sounding album — mixed the EP. “Fragments” features original artwork by Niklas Sundin (Dark Tranquillity) and was mastered at Fascination Street by Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Opeth).

Influences: Death, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Hammerfall, Dark Tranquillity, Helloween, Rage, Gamma Ray, Kreator, Grave Digger.

Vocals and Keys: JJ
Lead Guitars: Roman
Rhythm Guitars: Steve
Bass Guitar: Lena
Drums: Mark Zonder

	Hm, nice fit for PM. A little traditional in a "standard metal" kind of way, but I hear quite a bit of Devy/Dream Theater influence. Should be able to pass. I'll alert the team.
