Alias
Must-have for fans of QUEENSRYCHE, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, FATES WARNING and CRIMSON GLORY. Remastered to celebrate the bands 30th anniversary, ALIAS' debut and follow up album's sound have now been elevated to today's standards. The band's rise coincided with the beginnings of the worldwide progressive/power metal movement that was being led by such bands as Queensryche and Fates Warning. Within that new movement, the band was praised by publications such as Hit Parader, Kerrang, Aarschok America and Metal Forces and received airplay from a new breed of stations like KNAC in Los Angeles, WKNH, WFBG and WRTN in New York looking for the next big thing. The bands songs ran the gamut of metal styles with melodic metal fair such as "Prisoner of Dreams" and "Metal To Infinity" with progressive arrangements such as "Alpha Omega" and "Dreamer" and thrashy tunes such as "Knight of the Realm" and "The System" and "Ultraviolence".
