Album number 9 from this hard rock outfit solidifies their place in the melodic rock community with heavy opener “Trial By Fire” paving the way for the melodic onslaught that’s about to come. Epic track Synergy (Parts I & II) shows the light and dark to great effect. “Fighting to Survive” crunches its way into metal territory and closing opus “The Broken Heart” mixes prog, melodic rock, and metal to sheer delight.

Release date: March 31, 2023 “‘Maze Of My Mind’ is truly the start of a new chapter in my career. It was the first set of original music I composed after a 5-year music writing break. It is also my first album featuring myself, predominantly known as a guitar player, on vocals.

As such, the record embodies what it’s like to be on a journey to becoming a different person and better yourself. You push hard, fall, get back up and keep pushing until you eventually succeed. The music tries to capture both the anxiety and hardship and the euphoria and excitement
