In my teenage years, I grew up listening to the great metal bands of the 80's. My cohorts and I believe that there's still a demand for good melodic metal today. We all have different influences, and it comes out in the material. Everyone is involved in the writing process, which contributes to our unique sound. Our audience is comprised of young and old. We've found a great number of fans who are longing for the return of quality metal in this decade. Unfortunately, clubs that support melodic metal, and even original music, are scarce these days. We hope you continue to support original music of all genres. We hope you enjoy our music as much as we enjoy making it!
