If you have one of these, please consider giving it a review on
Amazon, CDbaby, or the Prog-Power forum, or on the PM boards, even a myspace bullitin or blog would help, be creative. Thanks for your support.

Must check both of them.... I've been hearing great things about the new Suspyre album.

99centsshort · March 26th, 2007, 01:27 PM

They are both soo very awesome in different ways!!! I love these two CD's and have been playing the crap out of both of them since I got them last week!!!

I'll work on a blog post for these two later today.

Received my copies from Nightmare yesterday. Thanks Lance!!!

I wasn't able to check them out yet, but they will be the only two cds in my car for the next few days as I focus on them.

I've especially been waiting to hear the Pownd cd. They impressed me most - along with Evergrace and Mindflow - of the bands I had not yet heard on the Nightmare Sampler from PPUSA VII. I own the Evergrace cd and was listening to it again a couple of days ago. I bought the Suspyre debut cd at PPUSA last year and have been enjoying it ever since, so I after the great reviews this new one has received, I can't wait to hear it too. Now I need to get some Mindflow to prepare for Texas Madfest!

I'll share my thoughts on the Pownd and Suspyre releases later today or tomorrow after I've had time to check them out thoroughly. Thanks again!

I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks of the new record. It always helps to hear what people like and dislike about records...looking forward to hearing some reviews.

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!

POWND
By: Nico 2007.04.09

Circle Of Power
Nightmare Records
Cd van de maand april 2007

Het vijfkoppige gezelschap Pownd bracht zopas hun tweede langspeler uit via Lance King's Nightmare records. En meestal kun je bij de releases op dat label op voorhand al raden in wat voor richting je het muzikaal gebodene kunt gaan zoeken. En ook nu is het niet anders, lekkere powerfulle US metal is hetgene Pownd ons voorschotelt! "Circle of power" heeft een lekkere eighties feel maar dan voorzien van een modern geluid. De band brengt ons 11 krachtige en zeer catchy songs waar liefhebbers van het genre geen genoeg kunnen van krijgen. Zanger Michael Duncan eist als zanger en songwriter de hoofdrol op en levert een waanzinnige zangprestatie. Deze kerel kan zowat alles aan en kan zich zonder meer met vele groten meten, zoals daar zijn Geoff Tate, Midnight, Mike Tirelli (Holy Mother). Maar uiteraard laten ook de andere bandleden, waaronder zijn broer Ronnie (gitaar), zich niet onbetuigd en zetten ze allen hun beste beentje voor, waardoor deze "Circle of power" gewoonweg verslavend goed klinkt. Want de band bestookt ons met zeer catchy refreinen en melodieën die in je hoofd blijven rondspoken, luister maar es naar krakers als "Blind", "The stand" en/ of "Elie" om er maar een paar te noemen. Kortom, voer voor de US metal fans die houden van Holy Mother, Stepchild (wie kent dit nog?), Queensryche, etc... Nu moet ik es op zoek gaan naar hun in eigen beheer uitgebrachte debuut, want dit roept echt om meer. Samen met Slavior de tweede verrassing van 2007 voor ondergetekende!
