Marc Fortunato and Zan Dang are the founders of this band and released their debut “Blood Is Life” in 2000. Their instrumental metal was produced as a duo, but now they have a real band and they released “Next World Will Be Yours”. Still instrumental, but their neo-classical metal can be compared with bands like Stratovarius, Rhapsody and very much Yngwie Malmsteen. The only thing that you will be missing are the fast `polka beat` parts like Helloween, instead of this you get some progressive and classic influences. Some real baroque and Vivaldi, Beethoven and Wagner are packed in the M.

Z. structure. Highlights are the fast “Rings Around The Earth”, with a very nice guitar and keyboard duel, the bombastic semi ballad Such A Long Way”, the slow, heavy and well structured “Anteroom Of Hell” (very strong riff) and the nice melody and great keyboard parts of “Darkness In The Sky”. The album is closed by a hidden classical track (I can’t remember the title) and leaves a positive impression behind so that fans of neo-classical metal can check out this album.
