Macedonia is the new black ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Don't think there's anything wrong with the composition, the sounds however I don't like, overall it sounds too modern for me(sounding modern doesn't always matter and it's more a question of the overall vibe as to whether it makes a difference or not...or something along those lines haha). Not quite special enough to leave a lasting impression. Perhaps the vocalist doesn't have enough grit in her voice, too 'clean'.

Are you the tyrant, who cast them to the sea?

Seriously, apart from the keyboard, which is used very sparingly, I don't hear anything else "modern". The production is thin of course and has a lot to be desired, but this is a demo after all...

The drums sound terrible, not modern though. I think of horrible groove produced guitars when I think of 'modern' sounds.
It's not that bad. But the song itself just doesn't stand out from the typical Greek epic bands and offers little in the form of the band's identity. The only thing that could stand out is the female vocals, but she just mimics the typical male vocals of the style.

No, it is not a new band. in fact the band is on hiatus right now. They are called Phoenix Reign and hail from New York. Although most of the band members obviously have Greek ancestry.

The good old US 'pride' in their roots, fucking 'Italians' that can't speak a word of Italian, Irirsh that don't know anything but 'defending' their 'heritage'... it's usually the same across the board, same with African-Americans. Why don't they all move the fuck back to where they 'came from' if it's so important. They ALL make me sick.
