Edgend.  A new band from Israel of all places...  This is power metal, and upon hearing this CD for the first time Symphony X  immediately came to my mind.  Sure they've also got some prog influences, and this especially is shown  in the keyboards. The singer has a very good voice, somewhere between Johnny Gioeli (Hardline, Axel Rudi Pell) with traces of Ronnie James Dio and James Labrie thrown in as well. A very good debut for this band which was formed in 2005. I’m curious to see what the future will bring.
