"Awesome album by a vastly underrated band!
Reminds me of a cross between 80's "hair" metal
and progressive metal. Great disc!"

La band, nata dalle ceneri dei Paradoxx, si forma nel 1988 a Chicago ed è formata da Dean Maltese (batteria), Randy Jostes (basso), Jon Dobbs (voce, chitarra) e Michael Posch (chitarra). Un demo omonimo è pubblicato nel 1989, seguito da "Vicious Raditude" nel 1990 e da "Masquerade" nel 1991 ottenendo diversi consensi nel circuito underground, tanto che la band riesce ad aprire shows per Queensrÿche, Megadeth e Kansas. Quindi firmano con la prestigiosa Century Media che pubblica l'album di debutto "Malice and Tranquility" (1996), seguito da "Requiem for the Innocent" (1998). Partecipano anche al disco tributo dei Judas Priest sempre per la Century Media con "Night Crawler". Purtroppo a causa delle scarse vendite la label li scarica e poco dopo si sciolgono. Ed è un vero peccato perche la band, soprattutto nel primo disco, suona un metal duro, classico e maturo con sfumature progressive, influenzato da Queensrÿche, Crimson Glory, Sanctuary, Fates Warning, Fifth Angel, Savatage ed impreziosita dalla potente e cristallina voce di Jon Dobbs.
Nel secondo album la band incorpora elementi gotici, orchestrazioni e cori a più voci, accentuando la parte progressive. Il magazine tedesco Rock Hard li premia con un 8,5/10 per "Malice and Tranquility" e 8/10 per "Requiem for the Innocent". Disponibile in vinile per la prima volta.
The band, born from the ashes of Paradoxx, is formed in Chicago in 1988 by Dean Maltese (drums), Randy Jostes (bass), Jon Dobbs (vocals, guitar) and Michael Posch (guitar). A self-titled demo is released in 1989, followed by "Vicious Raditude" in 1990 and "Masquerade" in 1991, gaining good feedbacks in the underground circuit, so much the band open shows for Queensrÿche, Megadeth and Kansas. Then they sign with prestigious Century Media, which releases their debut album "Malice and Tranquility" (1996), followed by "Requiem for the Innocent" (1998).
They are also included in the Judas Priest tribute album, always released by Century Media, with the song "Night Crawler." Unfortunately, due to low sales, the label left them and they disbanded soon after. And it's a real shame because the band, especially on their first album, plays an heavy, classic and mature metal with a progressive touch, influenced by Queensrÿche, Crimson Glory, Sanctuary, Fates Warning, Fifth Angel, Savatage and enhanced by Jon Dobbs's powerful, crystalline voice. On their second album the band adds gothic elements, orchestration and multi-part choirs, more focusing on the progressive side. Rock Hard magazine (Germany) ranked 8,5/10 "Malice and Tranquility" and 8/10 "Requiem for the Innocent". Available on vinyl for the first time.
