CD Reviews

Ellipsis Review by Gary Hill If you like instrumental prog in the style of Djam Karet, but would like to hear that sound carried out with a bit more metal to it, then Aziola Cry is the band for you. These guys do have quite a bit in common with that other band, but they also share musical textures with Rush, Dream Theater and some metal bands. More...

Aziola Cry - Live in Madison, WI, June, 2007 Review by Josh Turner Aziola Cry was the in-between band this night. From what I heard and saw, they should have been the headliner. More...
