Or...

1) "Halcyon Massacre" is playing. The atmosphere is similar to Metallica's One. At least in the beginning. I like the harmonized parts that enter after a while. Then, around 1 minute into the song you start developing the main theme. Great mood provided by the natural harmonics. Interesting ending part. Flows very well. The overall feel is very dark - and it works in this song.

2) "Harmonic Abyss" - Reminded me of Iron Maiden (Steve Harris, the bassist, to be specific) after 2 seconds. There's a song called Blood On The World's Hands which has a similar mood. I like the darkness of your style. It really works. The playing in this one is not stressed, and that's good. The sound of the instruments are fantastic. I actually thought of a certain song by George Clinton after listening to this piece. Brought up a few great references.

Next.

3) "Oblivion" - Strange intro, but not bad. Very odd, actually. I enjoy the great sound and the laidback playing. There's not much to complain about. This was also a very dark one. It seems to be your trademark. Although this one had an attention grabbing intro, there was nothing about the rest of the song that caught my attention. Just... allright - overall.

4) "Sea of Deceit" - More traditional intro than the previous track. OK intro, but I like what happens around 00:50. There's a change - the intro is over, a new part begins. A better part, in my opinion; more interesting. !!! Fantastic ending - the Pink Panther theme !!!

OK - that's it. This was definately worth listening to. Quality music, I think.
