It would be easy to write this full-length debut album off as a mere repeat hodge-podge of styles, but by itself it's a refreshing band with old school metal tropes. They might use a tried and true formula on here as many did before them but on the contrary, PASSAGE may end up being a superior effort due to tweaks in songwriting and the band itself feeling more confident than many bands out there in their 80s metal sweet spot.
