"The first thing you notice are the vocal histrionics of Johansson. This guy can flat out sing, but the interesting thing is he combines elements of Nevermore's Warrel Dane, Dream Theater's James LaBrie, Queensryche's Geoff Tate, Into Eternity/Iced Earth belter Stu Block, Pain of Salvation frontman Daniel Gildenlow, Tim 'Ripper' Owens, and even the legendary King Diamond himself, into a unique sound all his own. His powerful, theatrical, and at times over the top delivery soars above the intricate and often time crushing guitar riffage and complex rhythms from the rest of the band. More importantly, as diverse as these songs are, they are instantly memorable. From the extreme prog-metal of "Dark Angel" to the complex & avant-garde metal of "Snake in the Grass", these songs just stick in your head like glue and never let go".
