Review by Tarcisio Moura

A band that includes two members of Grey lady Down (bassist Sean Spear and keybords man Mark Westworth) but the main character here is Declan Burke. The guy is a good singer and tremendous guitarrist. Their first album didn´t move me enough to write a review. It had its moments, but clearly they lacked focus and a strong musical direction. Those problems were solved with Template For A Generation. In fact, they seem to buld a new genre: neo metal. The music is harder than your ordinary neo prog, but not as heavy as most prog metal acts like Symphony X , neither so complex.
Template For A Generation has only 3 tracks and 44 minutes of music, but it´s pretty strong work, with some great guitar work from Bruke, fine keyboards and a strong rhythm section. The sound reminds a little of the more progressive side of Dream Theatre (around the time of Metropolis Part II, to be more precise). Actually I was quite surprised of how they were so successful in scaping that style´cliches and building a sound of their own. The right production also helps a lot.
