Golden Resurrection - Man With A Mission

Imagine the best aspects of early Narnia (Awakening and Long Live The King) and Yngwie Malmsteen but joined with the symphonic, epic and melodic metal sensibilities of DivineFire, Theocracy and Rob Rock, respectively. Further mix in notable melodies, bombastic vocal arrangements, classically influenced keyboards, incessant double bass and virtuoso guitar work and it adds up to the neo-classical metal the is Golden Resurrection.

KBD3 - Autobiograph

Musically, there is quite a bit going on with Autobiograph. Yes, the album can be progressive - very progressive at times - but otherwise finds Bowers branching out musically and embracing styles as far reaching as classic rock, symphonic rock and acoustic rock while also mixing in some heavier guitar driven moments.
