THE ORIGINS OF RUIN

Once again Redemption releases a top rate album that is likely to enchant everyones minds. With powerful riffs, and great, deep lyrics this album as an aurora that is dark and even somehwat mysterious in my opinion, aside from the opening song of course, suffocating silence is quite foward. However, everysong is quite enjoyable, and is a good proceede from the band as they move foward in their careers with Fates Warning's Ray Alder. I'm impressed and this album is a successful produciton. Songs are all enjoyable and good to listen to. If your looking for something good, then try these guys. Fans of Riverside, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree (darker side), and other darker moving bands you'll find this influential band an excellent to your collection. I noticed it's a more raw metal production from their other release "the fullness of time", but still close to the enjoyment. I found it a great listen and don't hesistate to put a 4 star stamp on the album.

4 stars to such a great band with a great release.
