Album Review: Gone Is Gone - Gone Is Gone

Gone Is Gone will leave you aghast and defy your expectation.

Heavy desert-rock belter Violescent moves into the dark atmosphere of Starlight. Troy Sanders explores new, ethereal vocal styles, while Mike Zarin's synth work is haunting. Stolen From Me leads into a terrific bridge where Tony Hajjar goes ballistic on the drums. One Divided is heavy and sludgier, featuring excellent fast picking from Troy Van Leeuwen. Primal, tribal and earthly describe Praying From The Danger — a song both harrowing and heavenly. Recede And Enter serves as a foreboding interlude before This Chapter concludes in an epic thundering, climactic resolution.
