ewilt15 I've loved Katsionis's work since his days with Firewind. His Stray Gods album was a little too Miaden-sounding for me, but this album does the Queensryche/Fates Warning thing right. You can hear an influence, but it is its own entity that can stand alone and should be promoted more because everyone deserves to hear this!

Steven Andrew Mazzone This is a marvelous, fresh-sounding homage to traditional Prog Metal from the early days. But it's also its own creation and full of luxurious soundscapes for your ears to find serenity and delight. Personally, I think they outdo the comparisons to other bands - just too contemporary for that alone. Hence, I say homage over recollection or "love letter to the past". I hope this is not a "one and done".
May peace be on the boys in the band and all those they hold dear Favorite track: Faceless Encounter.

Panagiotis Krokidas That's a pure diamond. A love letter to the sound of Fates Warning and Queensryche, with some nods to power metal.

Truly exceptional musicianship, impeccable sound engineering and masterful compositions.

I was blown away and if you love the aforementioned bands, you will be blown away, as well!

tdpriest66 This album speaks volumes to its audience, whether historical or with a nature that is inspiring. It is very uplifting and positive with Billy Vass' "powerhouse" voice. Favorite track: Message To The Masses.

I challenged the mind of man and found That all is in perspective I travelled along the way of doubt and felt that its elusive Message to the masses- listen to my words Message to the masses The time to elude is past and gone The signs are all around We cannot depend on time and faith To burn us to the ground Is it too late-to find another way If we, search our hearts,the answer will be found If we, search our souls, there is a better day
2.
For every time I try to leave up to you You make it hard to do the things I have to do And all your anger seems to be misplaced, again Is this the way you see yourself with me my friend Can't you see? That I'm the only one that cares for you Misconceptions rule your mind Call to me! And I will search that place you want to be Your salvation, I will find Mark the moment, and I'll make you shine I will stand by you Separate the facts from every lie that's told to you The hypocrisy, sublime Evaluate and put away the patience and your doubt The unclear, is left behind Mark the moment, and I'll make you shine I will stand by you Mark the moment, and you will find I will wait, for you.

Web Weaver 03:56
There you go again Thinking you're ahead of me you're out of time Times up Now it's my turn Here I come again You thought you saw the last of me No way I am going out like that You're a Web Weaver You're a Soul Deceiver I will take you down You're a Web Weaver The kind that never lets you get away Get away!!!! When will I escape I feel you pulling on my strings I'm all tied up Watch out, If you ever let me go I can hear you breathe It's getting heavy you're afraid Now I have the upper hand on you
4.
Dreamscreen 04:20
It's all in the way you walk and talk you're a god The world is a finger touch away the great, facade The neon light, cuts through your eye, and now you're mesmerized That's all it takes I can see the Dream-Screen, It's all around me, and I'm trapped inside the web The damage is done- you're on your way you're in the game Connections are made without a trace you're not the same Is this what you expected? Your mind and pulse Transcended no way out
5.
How can I begin to tell you what I'm going through Let me start by asking what I mean to you In a world so full of doubt how will you believe? That-is-why its hard to give than to receive Every time I close my eyes and let my mind escape My subconscious takes me to a distant place Flying through the windy skies fearless as I rise Suddenly I'm frozen as I hear the cries What are all these echoes doing in Paradise? Can they be, Close to me Echoes in Paradise I realize, in just one moment that I'm still asleep But I don't want to wake up in another dream You try to understand my story searching for a chance How can you believe? I can see it in your glance I was wrong for letting all the influences through You were gone and I can't seem to find you, any more
6.
Purify 03:44
Deep in your every thought the answer is there Don't regulate what's wrong I know you care You try to convince yourself that all is well You find it hard to see you just can't tell I find it hard to wait anymore The right to defend not pacify I have no other way anymore I am the one to purify, purify! The difference between us now Is all too clear Knowledge of sacrifice Is what you fear What don't you understand I need to know Trust, and you will see Its time to grow Far be it from me to say What's right or wrong for you Choices are what separate A lie, from every truth...
7.
Just another faceless encounter has come and the eyes are all the same Try to feel the pulse of the moment it's gone and the lies will remain Always on the run Far away from home Never in one place Just another face There's another faceless encounter again and the times will never change Misconceptions, accusations, part of the game and the lies will remain And every time, I try to find my way, I call out, so helplessly with every mask, with every face, with every hand, my life has a reason to be... I am so lost, no one here no-one here can save me Just another face just another face just another faceless encounter
8.
I will not be left out in the cold no more Don't you tell me what I'm here to do for you Out of time Walk the line I walk alone There is more than what you see Far beyond your perception There's a path I was born to Walk alone On my own Carry on ALL my life I bled for what I have and won Paid my dues the hard way Every time every way Out of time Walk the line I walk alone There is more than what you see Far beyond your perception There's a path I was born to Walk alone On my own Carry on
