Songs from the sharp edge of reality, this band  are not afraid to tell the truth, and the music isn't afraid to be heavy! From the initial blast of "Look Me In The Eye", through "Wishful Thinking" which is tough stuff about  love, to the chillingly haunted "Shadows" sung  by Dawn Heller (described by the boys in the band as 'the wind beneath their wings' - quite a tribute, but well-deserved;) her voice adds colour and tone to the group. Many of the lyrics are challenging and evangelistic in the best possible way, and tracks like "Star One" are just lovely. My favourite was "Waiting Makes Me Stronger", a real belt in the eye for Satan, that one, with soaring guitar work, great drumming and a very strong vocal! I challenge anyone to stay lukewarm after a listen to this, it would melt the though guys and give the rest of us a little of what we need to get us up on our (spiritual) feet. Great.
