Great new album from this talented female vocalist.

Opening track "Into The Fire" not only features some great vocals but some wonderful guitar, moving from fluid solos to a decent riff. In fact the opening riff really does make you think of the red planet itself. The guitar / interplay is good too.

"The Frozen Sea" is melodic, mixing mellow and heavy segments, the layering of the vocals giving a choral effect in places.

"Capture The Sun" nods at a melodic Iron Maiden circa late 80s, some intelligent metal bass/drums working well. The intricate keyboards fit in well too. The searing guitar sound knows when to hold notes too; while technically good it's not all widdly widdly.

The overall sound is well produced too. This four piece (Eric Norlander provides both bass and keyboards) produce a solid sound.

Genuinely impressed. Definitely a heads up for an up coming band.

Really superb.
