well I think Nightmare describes Suspyre - 'A Great Divide' perfectly within the promotional copy of the cd: "balancing heavy riffs, lush orchestral parts and classic prog - tastefully done with panache"

and I can say so far that it is truly a roller coaster ride of prog-metal, twisting and turning but doing it gracefully. I personally LOVE the orchestral arrangements. They fit the heavier riffing so well. And the vocals are wonderful throughout 'A Great Divide'. I'm still taking this cd in, but I'm letting my son take it with him on a weekend getaway. So I'll pick it back up at the start of next week.

POWND is also a roller coaster ride - but with punches about the face and neck! And I mean that in a good way! I had to check the liner notes several times to see if there were several guest vocalists! this guy is amazing! such range! And this debut is HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY!!! *checks lip for blood*

More later after I've had some time to study each release a bit more. But so far, so good... so damn good!
