This sounds familiar, reminds me of some band I can't put my finger on right now -- or maybe a few of them from American power metal But it's also pretty original approach; kind of slowing down power metal and still making it work successfully. Great one, I guess there's still some gems left to find.

Where are the usual guys who rate and comment on these albums? JoHn DoE?

edit: The vocalist sounds a lot like Rick Mythiasin
