You guys are from Fall River and Norton MA? I live just about an hour south in RI. Nice to see some quality local prog.

I listened to the whole album. Sounds like a fine mix of heavy and symphonic elements, more akin to Heavy than Symphonic, though. I'll bring it to the team.

Yeah, so what are the odds that I'd the keyboardist from my favorite band to join MY band?  Ahh, cool, I see George is here now. Those of you who buy the album will be in for a real treat digging into these lyrics. Nuggetz, nuggetz and more nuggetz |

Though I haven't engaged on the forums (it's me not you - really, I don't do well) ... I have written a handful of reviews for the likes of Shadow Circus, Relocator and Mars Hollow.
I must say that it is a bit surreal and beyond such a pleasure to be on the other side of the curtain this time; I can only thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your forthcoming (hopefully) considered opinions, your time listening and your consideration of "Back From Being Gone" - I know intimately what it takes to write an honest, accurate and, yes, even creative review while at once being true to yourselves, the artist and the genre ... cheers to you all! And I hope you like what you hear!! George

now have listened to this album in its entirety ... I really like it
portions of symphonic, heavy rock, prog metal - a crossover of styles, however not crossover in Progarchives terms .. I would forward this to the heavy prog team first ... |

You're very welcome to the feedback. Listening to this for the second time now, I reckon there's far too much variety in the music for it to be a case for the neo team. Many styles are moulded into a single album here, and there are three absolute epics included on it in "Rome", "Vikings" and "Egypt". There is a fair amount of prog metal in this music too, so that team might well want to be the ones to evaluate it in the first instance. Definitely added to my shopping list!

All the tracks are legally available for sampling by collaborators right now - just go to the 10T records link given in the excellent o.p. where they can be easily played. The collabs may want to wait until the album is officially released before adding The Anabasis to our database, which they almost certainly will, because it's a very fine album indeed. It just needs someone to decide upon which subgenre to offer the band to for evaluation in the meantime. The band would probably be suitable for consideration by either neo or crossover teams based upon my own impressions of the album, but someone more experienced in these matters will ultimately make that decision.
