FROM the ashes of As I Lay Dying has risen a strong, almost Phoenix-like potent force in the shape of Wovenwar.

WHEN technical difficulties strike, a band has two choices - suck it up and get on, or let it stop the show. Stormzone and Donum Dei both had technical gremlins strike, but they chose the former optiob and rose above and smashed the gremlins into the ground and delivered a feast of  metal.

_{I must admit that I wasn’t familiar with the work of Gregory Lynn Hall prior to receiving an e-mail notifying me of the forthcoming release of his album “Heaven To Earth” through AOR Heaven on 28th July. He has been around the music scene in California and Nashville since the 70s playing with Rat Sally and 101 South and being involved with numerous projects. On this new album he is a bit of a one man band really - playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and harmonica as well as singing. There are however a number of guest guitarists performing solos and some additional support on drums.}
