Not much information about this one online. No list of who is in the band, either. The first track is pretty fast and furious power metal, while the second track is a commercial metal power ballad. Then back to power metal. The musicians can obviously play well, but this is one of those metal bands that seems to show off chops first and write songs second. There were many like this, but I think a little more focus on crafting the song and dialing back the complex musical parts occasionally (especially the drums) at times would help.
Update: the bass player from this band commented on one of the videos below and filled us in on this band. Band member information above has been added. Alan is listed on Wikipedia as being one of the original members of Deliverance. Steve DeRoque is also known for co-writing the song “Dreams” for Recon.
Christian Tape Underground 
Interesting Sean Silas Played Guitars in Holy Right And Ironwrath …Steve De Rogue (Vocalist) Had a 80’s Christian Metal Band Called De Rogue With A Couple Members Of Recon before Recon even existed!
