Hard progresivo sinfónico desde Sevilla, inspirado en la novela de Philip K. Dick "Ubik". Se me antoja compararlos con los madrileños Maroon(Ed) y con los de Gasteiz, The Soulbreaker Company en especial de su disco "Itaca" y como no de los clásicos como Genesis o Van Der Graff Generator. La voz del cantante me recuerda en lo dramático y áspero al italiano Bernardo Lanzetti y como no a Javier Rellán de los comentados Maroon/Ed.

Rock progresivo enérgico, oscuro, con una fuerte carga emocional, pero con remansos de paz en temas como la instrumental "Uncertainty", destaca la introspectiva y cambiante "Red light" o el largo tema de tono Hard progresivo "Am I Alive".

Energetic progressive rock, dark, with a strong emotional charge, but with remnants of peace in themes such as the instrumental "Uncertainty", the introspective and changing "Red light" or the long theme of a Hard-progressive tone "Am I Alive".
