Update – December 6 2023
Several reviews and feedback have been published and posted. Some quotes from these:
‘This album is one that will catch you off guard. It fuses Progressive Rock and Metal with many other styles and genres to create an Avant-Garde Metal record wild enough to leave a very lasting impression. One of the best rollercoaster rides I’ve had in a while. This album manages to maintain a consistency thanks to lyrical themes and excellent writing. Exi(s)t is interesting, entertaining, and informative. There is so much to dig into on this record. I am always impressed with discs that make me think, feel, and analyze what I’m hearing. This is a record that does that and more. Kevin Lewis, Metal Zenith November 19 2023.
‘A track reminiscent of Queensrÿche is followed by an alcohol infused Tom Waits song, a spoof on Rammstein, Rainbow, Judas Priest and traces of Ghost’ – iO Pages magazine issue 186, July 2023
‘‘American Dream’ hits the spot for me, the numbers are complex and progressive’ – All in the picture (online)
‘Very cool! Great job! You have a touch of Freddie Mercury. The theatricality mixes with hard rock is super cool. Melodic beauty.’ – Ute Lemper
‘Nicely done! It has Iced Earth / Diamond King vibes’ – Lennert Kemper (Dreamwalkers Inc)
‘I detect Queensrÿche! Great vocals, within an experimental, out of the box approach, I love it!’ – Ron Coolen
‘Great piece of work! Strong lyrics, too’ – Richard van Asselt
‘Megadeth and Queensrÿche shine through, some of my favourites from the eighties’ – M. Marjot
‘The vocals have a Bowie quality to them’
