Visual Cliff - Freedom Within flac album

Freedom Within, Visual Cliff's third release, shows the band entering to a more heavier territory than their first two albums. Some nice riffs are indeed found here, and the album is a nice listen, almost straightforward considered that it's prog. Therefore I'm giving this album one star less than the others

Freedom Within", which is my first encounter with Visual Cliff, represents something rather different from what I'd been led to expect from their music (to whit, instrumental progressive Fusion). Three out of the eight tracks from the original "Freedom Within" CD, Sacred, Let It Ring and Beneath The Sand, feature former Orphan Project singer Shane Lankford. Orphan Project are members of the Christian Prog movement, so it is no surprise that the lyrics are based on Christian values. Shane has a powerful voice with a strong hard-rock feeling.
