VOICE IN THE LIGHT

The supegroup consisting of experienced metal and progressive rock musicians delivers a mature effort with enough dynamism and variety. The vocals sometimes more metal-like, sometimes have a more prog-rock edge but are always powerful and are best suited to melodic tracks. Harmonies are really well constructed.

Most of the tracks are hard enough to be called metal; not unusually for American prog metal acts, there are influences from other metal shops - in this case it is power and heavy metal.

Overall a good but not very memorable effort and it drags on for a bit too long. Three stars for this not too original and distinctive offering.
