Vanishing Point - Distance is the Sun

It's hard to categorize Vanishing Point because their music can appeal to so many different genres.  It's been 7 years since these talented Aussies have put out new product, so I was frothing at the mouth when I heard that they were releasing a new CD, entitled Distance From the Sun. If you're not familiar with the band, then you should get acquainted with them real soon because they mix the heavy with the melodic as good, if not better, than any band out there doing it today.

 The new CD is definitely the best album the band has put out since their second album Tangled in Dream, full of great tunes, making it hard to pick out a favorite track because they all rock.  The great thing about this album is the variety. One moment you're singing along with the melodic Let the River Run and next you're banging your head to the uptempo track Walls of Silence. This CD has it all and will be an essential addition to any metalhead's collection.

The Bottom Line: Vanishing Point returns after a seven year hiatus to give us their best album in almost 14 years, a solid mix of power, progressive and AOR all mixed into one tightly wrapped piece of ear candy so sweet you may want to see the dentist after listening to this one!

Standout Tracks: Let the River Run, Handful of Hope, Walls of Silence and Circle of Fire

- Ragman would have made this one CD of the month had Genghis not beaten him to the punch (this one will definitely be one of the top picks of 2014)...
