Omega Reign released their “Arise” album late last year and being hailed for great things we thought we’d check them out.
First off Omega Reign are Power/Progressive Metal although from the album cover you’d be mistaken for thinking they were either Doom or even Thrash.
Claiming influential directions from Queensryche, Savatage and Dio; Omega Reign are defined by an eighties sound. The album although solid sounding doesn’t sound fresh or in anyway current and for those that wish to delve back into the early eighties of metal this is just for you.
Score: 6.5 out of 10

About the author
At least 27 years Rock experience :), my first album was Queen " A Kind Of Magic" before moving onto the mighty Iron Maiden, favourite album from my youth was "Operation Mindcrime" by Queensryche, which I still play regularly. I was lucky enough to experience Metallica at Milton Keynes Bowl, supported by Megadeth, The Almighty and Diamond Head, Queensryche on the "Empire" tour, Maiden on " No Prayer For The Road", had the luck to meet a few heroes, and most embarrassing moment falling asleep during a Slayer concert!
