This two piece band hail from Los Angeles and are all about concept albums. Sophomore album "Over Mountain, Under Hill" is based upon the works of JRR Tolkien and is an epic compiling of progressive rock. Influences the band have listed include Iron Maiden, Queen and Megadeth and listening to Heart of Cygnus you will quickly begin to hear these influences at work. They have the lightning pace of Iron Maiden, the experimentalism of Queen and, at times, the heaviness of Megadeth. The band are not well known (yet) and their work may be hard to come by but it's worth the effort to find. I would definitely recommend picking up the aforementioned album and be ready to get their next album "Tales From Outer Space!" which is due November 18th of this year. Judging by the amazing track on their MySpace the band is getting better and better with each album.

'Over Mountain' is the most underrated album of the year I think. You should definitely check out their previous album 'Utopia' if you haven't already. And you forgot to mention their excellent cover of Iron Maiden's 'Revelations' that closes the album. Can't wait for this new album either, thanks!
