FrontBy looking at the cover and name of the band, you'd think this was some death metal BUT it's actually great AOR. This central Illinois band plays nice guitar/keyboard driven AOR/melodic hard rock in the vein of RUSCHA and LOST & FOUND. The vocalist reminds me of DENNIS DE YOUNG a lot. The production is decent sounding and the musicianship is good. If you ever get a chance to pick it up....by all means, do so!

[ORDER NOW CD!]

Opener 'Let It Shine' radiates with gospel feel-good rock n roll while 'Beautiful Smile' roars with hard rock urgency. Lead single 'Labour Of Life' is a fast paced pop anthem which shows the band's ability to cross over with stunning pop sensibilities. Title track 'Frantic' is a slower number filled with full string section which compliment Dante Gizzi's haunting vocals. 'Frantic' is filled with no fillers, power, energy, and is refined and rough at the same time.
