SANDSTONE – Cultural Dissonance

Bruce Dickinson called the predecessor: „The most impressive album to come out of Ireland for years“. Sandstone continue to display the clever mixture of power and progressive elements with a high standard of melodies (think Fates Warning, Queensryche and even Iron Maiden), yet the new material comes across much straighter, heavier and more in the direction of Pagan’s Mind, Symphony X and Vanden Plas.
