Album Description
MASSIVE MELODIC PROG-POWER METAL DEBUT!Pyramaze remind me of a more progressive and rock influenced version of STRATOVARIOUS meets KAMELOT but there is so much more in here. The diverse musical tastes of the band members come to life fully in these nine songs, sounds of the mighty IRON MAIDEN, and ICED EARTH ring through too. Michael Kammeyer has written a masterpiece.
Lance King's Vocals are the best ever and Morten Gade's (Wuthering Hights) Drumming is outstanding ! This album actually brings something new to the Prog-Power metal realms where things have gotten a bit stale as of late. "Melancholy Beast" is a wonderful display of how good progressive power metal can sound when performed by those who master the genre. Pyramaze is an oustanding Metal unit with a bright future. "Melancholy Beast" is an absolutely highly recommended Prog-Power Metal album, Lance's vocals cut through flesh and bone (as usual) perfectly in line with the piercing guitar riffs / solo's and the great sonic production of this album. Fantastic release, no doubt about it!
Customer Reviews:
No this is how metal prog should be done!.......2007-05-17
The band is solid and the tunes are great. Production is very good and the cd jacket is also very informative.
At times during the listening of this cd you'd swear Geoff Tate from Queensryche was singing it as the voice is quite similar to Lance King the vocalist for Pyramaze. The guitars, bass and keys are great and the drumming is solid and driving. These guys have it together and this release is a very nice surprise. It just goes to prove that yet again good music can be found, you just have to looking for it.
Buy this cd!

Great way for ELO to say goodbye.......2007-02-27
swansong....til 2001.......2006-09-18
Lynne abandons the excesses of his previous few outings here, stripping the short, simply structured songs to their melodic and harmonic core, with synths playing a far more subtle role than previously. Even the cover graphic indicates a retreat of sorts, replacing ornate adolescent silliness with a simple visual pun.
"Getting to the Point," the first and finest of the record's three ballads, explores with a new-found maturity the dying embers of a relationship, with the first-ever appearance of solo sax on an ELO record. "Without Someone" is similarly restrained in tone, also calmly reflecting on a lost love. Finally, the initially off-putting "Endless Lies," with its operatic chorus, finally clicks when one realizes the song is a tribute to future-Lynne collaborator Roy Orbison.
The remaining seven brief pop-rockers are uniformly excellent. "Sorrow About to Fall" makes an inspired swipe of FOREIGNER's "Urgent," with sax again stepping into the spotlight, while "Is it Alright" (sic), a simple letter checking up on a friend who felt the need to move on, deftly weaves together several joyously Beatle-esque, octave-leaping melodies with a latter-day Steve Winwood synth pattern and a mildly sinister bass chug. "Calling America," a minor stateside hit, is a similar exploration of a friend who has left town, which bemoans high technology's inability to connect the two across the Atlantic; a far cry from the excessive technofascism of 1981's Time LP.
The final track, "Send It," inclusively ends the string of album-closing "rock and roll" numbers begun with Discovery's "Don't Bring Me Down," and continuing through Time's "Hold on Tight" and Secret Messages' "Rock 'N' Roll is King." The song succeeds especially when set in low relief to the previous album-closers' synth-based clutter, which betrayed their hollow insincerity. Here, the melody and the steady beat carry the song along handsomely, and the album arrives at the terminal in tip-top condition.
Within the year Lynne was already collaborating with George Harrison on a number of projects, and his production career began in earnest, offering his now-stripped-and-clean sound to the likes of Del Shannon, and fellow Traveling Wilburys Roy Orbison and Tom Petty (Bob Dylan approached Daniel Lanois for his first post-Wilburys project, to the likely disappointment of Lynne).
After his work with Ringo Starr on the excellent Time Takes Time record, the pieces were in place for Lynne to make his final move. Since his teen days with the Idle Race, singing of John and Paul and Ringo and George's "lovely tunes," Jeff Lynne, a good-natured working-class lad from a northern industrial city, imagined a better life. In 1995, reality caught up with imagination, and "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" are the glorious if sadly incomplete results.
Judge this album on its own merits or lament the band's departure from its trademark soundscape: the choice is yours.......2006-09-12
Out of the Box.......2006-09-11
It's missing, most notably, the strings. Every reviewer can and will comment on the lack of even a Time-style synthesized orchestra.
Also missing is Kelly Groucutt, which people will tell you because they want to feel intelligent.
But the major draw for me, and others, i imagine, is the pervasive sadness that is felt, from one song to the next. Not the tired feeling of someone who doesn't care anymore, but the depressing end to a fifteen-year career with largely the same group of people. Jeff sounds completely down throughout the album, trying to put his best face forward. It's sad, it's beautiful, and, with the ambiently blue songs throughout, it's nice to have a bit of the perky, pseudo-campy ELO back at the end with 'Send It' -- a fitting way to say goodbye.
Don't knock it Just Because it was the 80's.......2006-06-09
This album has superbly crafted pop/rock songs. The single, "calling america", was actually one of the weaker songs in my opinion, and with it being the single I believe it damaged some the chances of the album being a "hit".
Interesting title though. Jeff Lynne definitely is a control freak. I think it's best when he writes and has other musicians help fill things out. On the last album "zoom", he played almost everything and it felt a little stale.
With "balance of power", it doesn't feel stale. It feels like ELO.

BALANCE OF POWER's excellent musicianship, extraordinary vocals and great song writing on Heathen Machine has been compared to QUEENSRYCHE's masterpiece, Operation Mindcrime. Among the accolades the band has recently received include being placed on the cover of leading prog/power metal publication Power Packer Zine, a front page feature story on the highly regarded Canadian web zine metallian.com, as well as a stellar review and rating of 8.5/10 points in the top Brazilian metal publication, Roadie Crew magazine.

**** - FOUR STARS
=================
This is a very impressive release. It's powerful, and very melodic in nature. This band almost sounds like a mixture of Queensryche / Maiden. I enjoyed every minute of "Heathen Machine". I'm just angry that I never bought it sooner.
IMPRESSIVE METAL. ALL METAL FANS BUY THIS....
A New Balance of Power.......2005-11-26
Some Great Melodic Metal.......2005-09-11
Balance of Power has a new singer named John something or other, who on a couple tracks, reminds me of, don't laugh, Queensryche's Geoff Tate.
If you like good heavy and melodic metal, dn't hesitate, pick this jewel up. You won't be sorry.
Heathen Machine Of Power Metal.......2005-04-03
First off Lance King is gone. The new singer though carries this album well and of course the production is high quality so the change works. Much more of a Queensryche style vocalist, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. Although there has always been that comparison this New singer is even more Geoff Tateian. No other real changes are readily noticeable; B Of P is consistent, great metal. A little Progressive, a lot of straight Power metal and a classic fusion of the two. Very much worth owning. Addendum added july 16. This album has really grown on me so I upped the rating.

First 4 on 2 CD's!.......2006-02-16
Their second release, Time's End, from 1986 is a huge improvement over the debut. Released on "Pure Metal" records, kicks off with "In The Night". Lots of heavy hitters here, this one is more polished and more professional that the WOS release.
Dsic two starts with the last Pure Metal release, "Too Late For Living". This one is even more polished that "Time's End" and has some slick production. Kind of reminds me of "Turbo" from Priest, but this is better than "Turbo". Contains the title track and "Star Pilot". Dee Harrington makes his shredding debut on guitars.
The 4th album is the independant release "Perfect Life". Josh Kramer is replaced on vocals by Tim Lamberson. Tim is good but it just ins't the same. This was originally released in 1999, ten years after the last album. Another down-fall is the lack of a drummer. They use a machine.
Overall, a great release from this Christian metal band. These albums have been hard to find forquite some time and are now avaiable.
Fast forward to 2006 -- Josh Kramer is BACK and they have re-recorded "Warriors Of The Son" with bonus tracks, released a new album "In The Battle" and "Saint Live" came out in Dec, 2005. For more info, google Saint and visit their site.

A miracle creator!.......2000-06-30
While this description may be rather technical for those not dealing with infertility themselves, I wanted to share these numbers for a reason. I think it proves that the connection between body and mind is truly powerful and mystical. Jo-Jo's music and Mary's guided visualizations allowed me to make hope and desire into reality. If you want to be healed you need to try this CD.
