CRUX ANSATA

Very enjoyable. Solid. Solid performances, compositions, recording, everything. It's dangerously close to not being memorable, though, but they pull it off and add their special touch. Especially for a new band - serious potential. They sound like pros already.

I really think that the vocalist gives one hell of a performance, definitely a stand-out among other vocalists in this style. I can't agree that he's the best part of this album, though, since all players seem to pull their weight equally. Great ensemble playing.

It kind of reminds me of the last Silent Force album, in a way. I think that you should get this album as soon as possible. A promising debut by a good Brazilian newcomer. Check the album by free promotional download.
