A FANTASTIC FOLLOW UP TO THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL DEBUT IN 2004 "Regeneration","ANSWERS" brings us a Heavier, better performed and better produced album even than they're debut which was very well received. KILLER, SYMPHONIC, MELODIC, PROGRESSIVE METAL WITH MAGNIFICENT VOCALS and Tasty Guitar. BETTER IN EVERY WAY FROM THEIR DEBUT IN OUR HUMBLE OPINIONS!

The band is comprised of Leon Ozug (vocals, guitar, bass), Tim Becker (keyboards) and Chad Lenig (drums), but they also had a few guest musicians to help on vocals and on a some of the tracks.

The first track, "Passion of My Heart," is almost classical in its use of melody during the intro. Their sound throughout the CD is pure, the production nears perfection, and Ozug's voice is just as pure as the production values. Everything fits perfectly (there's that word again) on Answers. While you will place Ascension Theory in the progressive metal genre, Ozug is focused on singing and never screaming - never. His voice is so strong and musical, he could sing something from Buddy Holly and you'd still be mesmerized.

Keys play a role in all of their songs, mainly due to the fact Becker is the principle songwriter. The track "Lockstep," shows their propensity for penning smart lyrics as well: "Marching lockstep, to the cadence we all know. Blindly passing by the suffering of our own kind." The solo in this song is brief and ultra-clean, making you wonder how a singer can figure out how to play guitar this well.
