This single is just fantastic. The direction that Rogue and his Cruxshadows have taken is just amazing. This taste of their upcoming album is barely enough to quell the anticipation. Here is looking forward to January!

I was fortunate enough to have encountered the Cruxshadows when they were playing in Atlanta, so my first experience with their music was first hand, and I was completely blown away. The energy level was through the roof.

You certainly get your money's worth on this disc, with three versions of their hit single, and two other songs as well. I find it difficult to describe the genre of music exactly. There are elements of techno-synth, orchestral, and rock, but it's not really any of these.

Their music and lyrics of the single tends to be rather uplifting but without being preachy. Even though the thrust of the song is very much inspirational, there's still an element of sadness and hauntedness, which gives it a ring of truth.

And it's a catchy tune, which never hurts : - ) An excellent jump-on point for any new fan.

I admit, I've been a Cruxshadows fan for almost 10 years now, so I may be a bit biased, but I loved it. It's beautiful. I can't wait until the new album comes out in January!
