Released: Jun 2006
Label: Hammers of Misfortune
These San Francisco prog metal exotics come off a little cold sometimes, with perhaps a pinch too much Mary Poppins in their visual trappings; sometimes it's easy to wonder whether they want to be a Scissor Sisters or Dresden Dolls for headbangers. But they manage to work plenty of engineering-school schematics into the majestic arrangements on their third album -- not to mention a cappella madrigal harmonies, overblown piano-prog bombast and a medievalist "War Anthem" that melodically suggests they could pull off a Boney M cover if they tried hard enough.
