Apparently this Greek band has three previous albums to its name and is a known outfit in its homeland. Regardless, the band is an unknown quantity at Metallian Towers, for the cover art and the album title immediately spell out the band's hardcore affiliation. This is in fact melodic crossover which even features some background keyboards. The band does throw in a couple of odd riffs here and there, but the over all sound and the drumming is straightforward enough. There are two singers in the band. The gruff vocals belong to the male singer who is roughly reminiscent of Max from Sepultura. The female singer is more melodic and constantly furnished with massive reverb. Overall the band has the aura of an R.D.P. The lyrics are in Greek, so it's a case of Caveat Emptor. - Ali "The Metallian"
