Description/Reviews: 

...Hillward, a side project of the members of Southern Cross.  ... There are, however, some key differences between these two projects.  While Southern Cross had evolved from metal to progressive metal, complete with warped time signatures, harsh and clean vox, and some chugging guitars, Hillward is a different beast.  They take more from Porcupine Tree and OSI than from Dream Theater or Symphony X.  Indeed, their official description is “heavy prog” instead of “progressive metal”.  Gone are the harsh vox and chugging, and in comes a focus on melody, soul, and, dare I say, serenity.
