A traditional metal/progressive rock power trio that consists of two members from the symphonic prog band, Glass Hammer. Vocalist/bassist/keyboardist Steve Babb and guest Fred Schendel, also on the keys on a couple of tracks. The band was actually formed in 1980 in Tennessee by Babb, guitarist David Guitarist and drummer Bill McKinney. Thier one and only album, The Final Catastrophe wasn't released until 1997 with Babb and Schendel already working within Glass Hammer that was formed in 1992. "Retro" in style and sound in vien of Rush, Purple, Yes, Pat Travers and BOC. The lyricism is in the concept approach in the climatic battle between the forces of light and darkness for world domination. Superb "classic" metal/hard rock.
