Description/Reviews
So they’ve got pedigree and they’ve also got form, if you’re looking for some atmospheric Pink Floyd sounds.  It’s stately and melodic, and they’ve even managed to bag Pink Floyd sideman, Snowy White, for some tasty guitar work on ‘Should Stop Now’ and ‘Love Of Life’.
You’ll be glad to know that there is a loose concept running through the album, which deals with escapism, so you can tick that off your prog list.  It’s beautifully presented as well, and goes to remind you that you can make a CD an object of desire.  It’s one of the better prog albums I’ve heard this year, and should be near the top of any self-respecting progsters buy list.

Loikav  has a very strong eerie, psychedelic sound mixed effortlessly with modern metal. Yep, simultaneously retro and comtemporary makes this a unique and very exciting project - especially for those of us who love that late 60's psych sound (progmetalzone.com)

Description/Reviews
SBS aren’t your average type Heavy Metal band as they share a variety of elements taken from Progressive Rock, Art Rock and 80s oriented Heavy Metal. There is a positive flow in their material; it has its own catchy lines, with elegant implementations of the assortment of genres infused together and a songwriting type that showed plenty of experience and maturity. There have been several junctures where I noticed a bit of Symphony X, Avantasia, Royal Hunt and later Kamelot, especially with the type of modern edge, heavy guitar riffing inspired by past examples, a pleasant soloing showcase, an impressive keyboards orchestrations made by the professional hands of Mistheria & Ferdy Doernberg (Serving as the album's guest artists), and a frequently tight rhythm section displaying more than the average structures. However, SBS's longstanding frontman, the band's perpetual spinal cord and nerve system, Don Vito, with his distinct voice pattern, and occasionally hefty Lithuanian accent, noted the difference in the band's musical viewpoint. It would perhaps take some time to adjust your ears to his style of singing, but in time it will be evident that his fermentation with the music is so soothing.
