Sounds like: Progressive Metal



The opening track "Burning Soul" does what an opener should do. It draws in the listener and doesn't let go. The track is phenomenal with its guitar work and has so many layers to it. "Open Your Eyes" is dark, moody and keeps things interesting. The track sets off with a chorus and guitar work that is out of this world. "Hell Voices" is a track with a lot of twists and turns. The track paints a picture with crunchy instrumentation, soaring vocals and a confidence that very few up and coming acts in the scene have. "The Quitting" is a ten minute epic track that bends different genres in a way that is catchy and awe inspiring. "Facing The Mirror" sounds like its made for live shows. The wall of sound that the track creates is magical and is super infectious right away. The guitar solos are amazing on the track. "Affair Is Over" is the shortest track on the album and will right away cling onto the listener with a gentleness. It's a nice change of pace track that's simply brilliant in its emotion. "Waking Up" is Progressive Metal at its finest. The swirling guitars, dynamic vocals and shifting tempos make this a stand out track. "Climbing High" is a nine minute masterpiece. The track perfectly shows off the pure talents of the band and there's so much packed into the track, it doesn't feel as long as the runtime. "Restoring The Faith" is a high tempo track that'll get the blood pumping from the first note. The track has riffs for days and the vocals have quite the range as well. The closing track "Flying" takes its time with its approach. The slower, more methodical delivery works wonders and it's a track to simply get lost into.

Verdict:
Thy Station stake claim to being one of the hottest Progressive Metal bands to look out for with their recent album.
