Well, this is a treat! You never know what to expect from bands today but if this is anything close, then great. The music I heard from their site, which has free downloads, shows me this band is the real deal. Thanks Amazon

4 out of 5 stars American style power captured by thrash metal.......2005-12-25

Core Device has been around for almost a decade now, but Our Fellowship Eternal is their first full-length release. Judging by the packaging, which is quite good, this is obviously a self-released disc encapsualting the classic American style power metal fury of bands like Barlow-era Iced Earth, Nevermore and perhaps the first two Fates Warning albums with John Arch. Vocalist Daniel Dunphy's voice certainly shares common traits with that of the amazing Matt Barlow, except that Barlow's voice has more of a presence to it. Some songs also bring to mind Nevermore's Warrel Dane when he sings in a baritone range and refrains from hitting higher notes.

Out of the eleven songs, it could be roughly described that about the first couple of tracks are more thrash-induced pieces, akin to classic 80's old school thrash. The bands hits into gear right off the bat with the powerful first track "Shadows Mind", one of their longest works too, and introduces a throaty, midrange singer that switches between clean vocal harmonies and somewhat death metal-ish grunts, but they are few and far in between. The gloomy title track demonstrates the darker and more melancholic side of the band, focusing on a moody intro, grey acoustic guitars, some keyboards interjected into the background, and awesome sweep arpeggios on the guitar by both Patrick Kehoe and Tony Necora. A smooth shift into a more power metal-driven zone, displaying clever key and tempo changes, evokes early Fates Warning and Crimson Glory and this is one of the best songs on the album for sure. Iced Earth's trademark galloping riff stlye is heard aplenty on the more modern "Hell and Torment", while "Stranger" is another diverse cut with subtle keyboards, great twin guitar leads, and a deep contrast between thrash-laden and atmosphere-laced passages.

From here on, the album takes on a more power metal side, though they continue to incorporate their classic thrash moments invariably. Thundering drums, huge gallop riffs, and cutting lead solos all emphasize Dunphy's vocals, which seem to get better with each listen. The growling bass on "One Path" matches his semi-growled vocals that also display his clean, regular voice. Exotic scales are married with Bay Area thrash on the experimental "God and Man" and definitely make for an interesting combination. The richly bass accentuated "Burning Away" is full of epic chunks of rhythm and even a beautiful female vocalist that sings back-up towards the end. More a capella vocals are available on the last track "Torn from Within" during a silent midsection before the song launches into a punishingly heavy power metal number. With Our Fellowship Eternal, Core Device have put out a very good release that should appeal to fans of heavy metal that borders on both thrash, power, and even progressive at times. I think it's worthy to note that Michael Romeo of Symphony X helped record, mix and engineer this disc as well. Let's hope their following disc comes out soon.

5 out of 5 stars Man, this is beyond GOOD!!!.......2005-11-26

This is so worth your cash, as long as there are any in stock. They seem to sell out alot. No matter, if you like Nevermore, Iced Earth, old Metallica and heavier stuff than that, go for it. If you can't get it here it at the bands site www.coredevice.com

5 out of 5 stars Why wait for word of mouth?.......2005-03-16

In the rarified metal genre, bands have to slog through years of "geting known" and "growing the base", then suddenly, as if overnight, the public confers upon them the status of "cool". It happens all the time. Often, "cool" is undeserved.

However, New Jersey's Core Device is all that and more. This, their second independent full-length, following "God And Man" from 98/99, flatly demands attention and volume. Showing a deft understanding of melody without sacrificing visceral energy, Core Device dodges the grungy chord-punching that passes for the new metal sound. The vocals run from multilayered harmonies in "clean mode" to full-throated roaring. The twin guitar attack and rhythm section all show the chops of a band with twice the experience of their peers, but much leaner.

Fans of metal who constantly find their favorites losing the aspects that attracted them in the first place need to get "Our Fellowship Eternal", because the coolest "cool" is knowing what's coming before MTV tells you. Get in on the ground floor.
