Description/Reviews: 

Although the bands history and roots lie deep in the Doom Metal genre, Edge Of Haze have evolved and transformed into something much more melodic and progressive orientated, culminating in this glorious yet dark affair. Based loosely on the novel ’Escape From Camp 14’, the album has a connecting theme of  oppression in a ‘big brother’ type scenario, which in turn, adds a great deal of atmosphere and substance to the overall vibe.
Having an extremely well balanced and complimenting vocal performance of clean and growl, the album is able to flow and progress very smoothly from masterful progressive and melodic hooks and riffs, through to hauntingly soft and evocative tracks such as ’Urban Reverie’, all backed by some really top notch musicianship.
