The band were 2014 finalist in Wacken Metal Battle, the South African leg.
I am going to listen to the band’s 2022 album Aurora and give my thoughts on the album. I do like the catchy design of the album. The album have 9 tracks on it.
1) Anointment! The Deathless One. – What a fantastic song to start the album with. Let the rock journey begin. The intro of the song is so good.
2) Gustance! The Mandable. – I do like the change of rhythm in the song. Also the mixture of vocals.
The band perfected the song.
3) Sentience! The Amygdala. – The song have mind blowing fast paced guitar riffs that takes the song to the next level. Pure enjoyment to listen to.
4) Cognizance! The Epiphany. – The song is 5 minutes plus. The song is out of this world. Everything the band did in this song, they nailed it. Do sit back and enjoy.
5) Aurora! The First Light. – The song is 7 minutes plus and pure magic. Not only a song for the fans of the band to enjoy, but for all rock and metal fans out there. A rock anthem for sure.
6) Audience! The Hollow. – Just under 10 minutes and you want more when the song has finished. What an epic song. A song to enjoy live. Not many radio stations have the balls to play songs this long uncut and unedited. Their loss. Those who do, horns up!
7) Tangency! The Defilement. – It would be a great song for a horror movie or a platform game. Play it loud so the neighbours can enjoy great music.
8) Tangency! The Midas Touch. – The song sure got the midas touch. Super cool guitar riffs and vocals make for pure enjoyment. A song to add to your playlist.
9) Voyance! The Spectre. – The final song is 11 minutes plus. A masterpiece to finish the rock journey with. What a powerful song to end the album with.
The band is amazing. Every track on the album is pure enjoyment. This is one of the best albums I have heard. The band deliver on every track and is hugely talented.
