Awesome, mysterious world-influenced intro builds steadily into a rip-roaring set of metallic riffs, not previously seen in Indie Rock. This is very progressive, there is much variation in the song structure, this is impressive stuff. The lead vocals remind me a lot of Bruce Dickinson, while the song itself sounds pretty epic. The biblical tendencies work much better than most, well done.
As for improvements: there could perhaps be too much variation in the arrangement and a bit of culture clash. Having said this, your progressive nature is brought out in this track well, keep it up, this shows potential.

interesting
Wow! Its cool to hear a new band playing rock music in the style of Iron Maiden or Spinal Tap. The celtic intro immediately suggested something of this genre, so I suppose it is useful for your music.
I think this music is interesting, but I can never be sure whether its being played ironically or sincerely. The vocals are crisp, as are the guitars, bass, and drums.
My main criticism is the lack of two-handed tapping in the guitars. There should be at least 30seconds more tapping licks.

Very Celtic
Sounds great with the bag pipes. It really creates a new outlook on the entire song. The bag pipes make the song. Seriously. Very cool Job. Sound greatFirst off, what a clever and original intro that immediatly provides a sense of drama. The band comes and carries on until the lead starts aping the bagpipes and the song devolves into typical metal. There are some interesting change ups that give the song some dynamics but there's nothing new here. The singer does have a great, powerful voice but the lyrics are the typical pompous words that go with this sort of thing. The band is polished and the production is top notch. - Garage band.
