The melodic Woodbridge thrash band opened for Myopia at the CD release and nearly brought down the Christmas lights. Interspersing technical guitar riffs with those chunky breakdowns that characterize whatever-they-call-it-now-core and lead vocalist Jackson's guttural singing voice—yes! actual singing!—was a refreshing change from the torturous vocals that often come with local death metal… )Luckily for Grey and the crew Myopia's music is worth all the money they spent getting the album made.
