This metal quartert consists of Cathal Rodgers on bass, Kieran Hynes on guitars, Colin Purcell on drums and Rob Buggle on vocals and keyboards.   Now before I continue, let me ask, what the hell is a buggle?  Anyone?   Well, no matter.

     This band morphed through a variety of incarnations since their inception in 1992.  It wasnt until 1997 that they took the shape that offers us this mini-cd.  The disc itself came about due to their performance at the Metalfest '98 Abbeyleiux.  Apparently someone at Ill-Omen liked them and they entered the studio.  Thank you mystery A&R man.

     This debut consists of four songs, "Ruins," "Bleak Horizons," "As Darkness Falls" and Burning Bridges."   As you can see, these are not happy Irishman.  Good.  If they were in a good mood they would suck.  As it is they kick ass.  Their moody creakings and groanings are a combination of Metallica's "Creeping Death" and Black Sabbath's "Changes."  Check them out.  For more information email them at dreamsfear@hotmail.com.
