Editorial Reviews
Midwest Beat Magazine - Tom Loungesges
This N.W. Indiana band plays heavy metal...but don't ask me to make comparisons...because they really don't sound like anyone else out there. In fact, I challenge anyone who picks this disc up to write back with comparisons. This ain't no Sabbath, this ain't no Zeppelin, this ain't no Megadeth or Metallica...So by now your probably saying, "Okay already ya jerk...you told me what it ain't now tell us what it is!" What it is...A rock solid debut effort that shows real maturity of the players in the way they utilize tempo changes, odd time signatures, dramatic shifts and subtleties. From that statement you might presume Cryptic Visions plays progressive metal, and you would be right...to a point. There are Dream Theater - like moments of over-the-top pomp and glory; but there are also Iron Butterfly - style slabs of thickness. It's impossible to peg this group into a comfortable niche. For although they often sashay into vibrant excursions rife with instrumental foreplay and cascading vocals, the melody soon gives way to meaty speed metal assaults. These break the songs out of their prog-style arrangements and invite plenty of head slamming. Cryptic Visions really delivers the goods on this collection, putting to shame the releases from acts who have been around a lot longer.
