1. Bounded by Hate
2. The Saviour
3. Seconds Left To Live
4. Under The Crossed Bones
5. So Far Away
6. Tormented
7. Love Bullet
8. A Dark Room Of My Mind
9. Like A Rock
10. The Madman Inside

Not bad. Symphonic power metal with a bit of crunch, unfortunately they suffer from the same dilemma that plagues many bands of their genre: annoying vocals. Lots of noodling to be found by all instrumentalists, and for the most part, it is enjoyable. Fairly strong songwriting skills, I'm sure they'll get better w/ more experience. Now if they could just keep that vocalist in check. One of the better bands on the Sound Riot roster.
