RateYourMusic.com gives "Echoed In Red" 4 out of 5 stars!

Echoed in Red is a strong and compact EP with 6 energetic power metal tracks. Powder Burn gets you started with the title track "Echoed in Red", it contains an enormous catchy drive. All of the songs are quite lyrics orientated and some of them do remind me of Linkin Park, when it comes to the explosive energy. There are even some moments on Echoed in Red that make the 80s hardrock come alive for a short while.

The guitar playing is overall quite indestructible , but it has it's lush moments also. These lush moments make Echoed in Red a well balanced album for those who like to hear instruments being "tortured" on one hand and on the other hand also like to hear exceptionally refreshing sounds from the guitars and percussion.

All the songs are written before there were lyrics, except the song "Oceans" where the lyrics came first. The intro of "Oceans" is kind of a short break, what seems to be a resting point on the cd, but in fact it's a prelude to another outrageous outburst, I think it has something to do with the story behind the lyrics. Well just watch the DVD and you'll know what I mean ;-)

Though there are no keyboards credited on Echoed in Red there is a marvelous intro on "Here and After" something that asks for more.....

Ken says: Thank you brave souls

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out the cd release party last night in Austin and braved the weather! Although many many people couldn't make it, we still had a blast with those of you that did.

For those of you that don't know there is "Ice Storm 2007" on it's way to Austin and the news stations warned people to stay home last night. Just our luck! haha. But seriously, thanks to those of you that made it out anyway and to those that didn't, no worries. We'd much rather you be safe than driving on some icy highways. I know how you Texas drivers are in wintry conditions! haha.

Our next Austin show is is 1/31 @ Redrum and is hosted by 101x and it will be all ages and only $1.01 to get in.

My guess is that we'll get a foot of snow that day! ;)
