│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I've been following Division's music now for a ║ │
│║ couple of years. Anyone who knows my taste in ║ │
│║ music, knows that Division's music is not a ║ │
│║ style that I normally listen to on a regular ║ │
│║ basis. Their first disc, Paradise Lost, was so ║ │
│║ poorly produced, that it didn't help the band ║ │
│║ get noticed much in the metal world. Mike ║ │
│║ Blevins, one of the maniacal guitarists, kept in ║ │
│║ touch with me and finally advised me that to ║ │
│║ understand Division, you have to see them play ║ │
│║ live. So, it just happened that Division was ║ │
│║ playing at the first Powermad gig in Baltimore, ║ │
│║ and on a plane I went to see some prog metal and ║ │
│║ Division. Quite frankly, their show blew me ║ │
│║ away. I wondered what the hell I was listening ║ │
│║ to on Paradise Lost, because the show sounded ║ │
│║ nothing like the music. Aggressive, maniacal, in ║ │
│║ your face, power metal laced with progressive ║ │
│║ tendencies. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Anyone into headbanging metal needs to get this ║ │
│║ disc. This is a disc that allows you to take out ║ │
│║ your aggression while the band does. I've seen ║ │
│║ the band in action playing this music, and ║ │
│║ aggression is the key word. Songs like "Risen," ║ │
│║ "Eraser" and "Veiled" really kick my ass in time ║ │
│║ of need, and as I said, this is not my preferred ║ │
│║ style of music to listen to regularly, but when ║ │
│║ you have those needs to bang thy head, this disc ║ │
│║ is perfect. Also, when you're a singer buff, ║ │
│║ like me, you want to hear Scott Stewart sing ║ │
│║ over and over. His voice is definitely one of ║ │
│║ the more unique in metal. Put on "Risen" (one of ║ │
│║ my favorites) or the hellatious version of ║ │
│║ "Heaven & Hell" that the band treats us with to ║ │
│║ hear just what Stewart can do. Oh, I did forget ║ │
│║ to mention that "Heaven & Hell" cover. It's done ║ │
│║ Division style, and done superbly. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you're shy about buying this, have someone ║ │
│║ tape this song for you to get the drift of what ║ │
│║ this band is all about and where they are coming ║ │
│║ from. My hat goes off to this band for keeping ║ │
│║ at it, and climbing higher and higher until they ║ │
│║ reach what they are after. Division is one hard ║ │
│║ working band, and it's clear that their efforts ║ │
│║ are really paying off as you can hear on this ║ │
│║ disc. If you can catch them live, and that's not ║ │
│║ hard to do on the East Coast, by all means do, ║ │
│║ because if you think there is a lack of metal ║ │
│║ out there, then Division has the answer to your ║ │
│║ problem. The indy bands out there are single ║ │
│║ handedly bringing back metal to the masses, and ║ │
│║ Division is at the head of the line. ║ │
