This very impressive self released debut full length from Broadmoor from Aalborg, Denmark could easily pass as a regular release, from the impressive cover artwork done by Mattias Norén thru the first class musical offerings and ending with a great production.

The cornerstones are in place, and the band has done everything in their power to convince the listeners that this is more than your average progressive metal release. Ten songs played with emotion and conviction by a band that stays on the path chosen. Within the confines of their sound they have created ten gems that are deep and varied, have just the right amount of power and finesse to get and keep your attention and all are played at a high technical level.

Broadmoor has the skills to mess with the best and has the songs to prove it. Musically they are influences come from the classic icons like Queensr˙che and Symphonic X as well as the Scandinavian branch of Progressive Metal; Pain of Salvation, Wuthering Heights, Circus Maximus, Twilight and Tears of Anger to name a few, but aren't as symphonic as some of their counterparts and they do try to carve their own little niche musically as well as soundwise and with success I might add.

With this stunning album from this talented and promising new band the year ends on a high note, and Broadmoor proves that Denmark does have something to offer when it comes to Progressive Metal. Well done lads!
