They were really ║ │ │║ active since in 2010 they released a promo- ║ │ │║ recording made of 3 songs and later - still in ║ │ │║ 2010 - they released their debut EP, called ║ │ │║ "Antartic Dream" made of 4 songs (actually inc. ║ │ │║ the ones from the promo-recording + one more). ║ │ │║ They then worked hard after that to record their ║ │ │║ full-length debut album that is now out on greek ║ │ │║ label IRON ON IRON Records. Called "Neon ║ │ │║ Lights", this one is made of 8 songs (+ intro) ║ │ │║ and .. well, no need to write a looooooong ║ │ │║ review, when it's good, it's GOOD ! What we have ║ │ │║ here is pure classic 80's inspired HEAVY-METAL ║ │ │║ from the likes of IRON MAIDEN (and in my opinion ║ │ │║ from their best period, that's too say 1981/1982 ║ │ │║ when Harris & Co were re-defining Heavy-Metal ║ │ │║ !), ACCEPT, PRIEST and more obscure bands like ║ │ │║ BROCAS HELM, BATTLEROAR... with mind-blowing ║ │ │║ refrains ("Metal Rites", "Blackout In L.A."), ║ │ │║ great twin-guitar parts that Murray/Smith could ║ │ │║ enjoy and mainly a vocalist that knows how to ║ │ │║ vary his voice and make it sound catchy & never ║ │ │║ boring ! This guy really does a good job ! ║ │ │║ Definitely something that every true metalhead ║ │ │║ should have in their collection ! The production ║ │ │║ is not the most impressive one, it's rather raw ║ │ │║ but fits good the band's style, in my opinion... ║ │ │║ this raw aspect gives more impact to the music ║ │ │║ that will for sure make you bang your head like ║ │ │║ you have to do when listening to a piece of real ║ │ │║ & good old-school Heavy-Metal !!!
