Description/Reviews
Most tunes stick to Satriani’s chosen genre of rock, without veering too far from the path into less accessible genres such as fusion. While he and co-producer Cuniberti do incorporate elements from jazz, fusion, New Wave, pop, and funk, these influences are more of a spice then a staple. All tracks feature the smooth, supple ideas that he’s worked so diligently to instill in his listeners’ ears. There isn’t the angularity of metal or modern hard rock blues hybrids. Notes ease in and out of existence, devoid of fuss. The disc on the whole has a familiar and fairly formulaic sequencing, with heavier tunes closer to the beginning.

Description/Reviews
"It will be more than 50 minutes of music on the border of progressive rock, art rock and melodic metal." So HellHaven announced their album. The musicians approached the subject very modestly because one can hear a lot more here.
The band's music combines the best of the noblest varieties of rock and metal. There also are  thought out art-rock construction and attention to detail with beautiful batches of keys, metal accelerations with rapid guitars and a truly psychedelic madness. A very important part of this jigsaw are the vocals and it is going to be very much of them. Though there are mostly pure emotional parts, there is also no shortage of extreme interpretations such as various sorts of screams, growls or demonic laughter.
