Self-Financed
      Intricately binding of four creative beings expressing  magical
thought forms into compositional creations that can be heard in  Hess-Opus
2. Drawing upon influential aspects of Symphony X, Malmsteem and  Dream
Theatre with Steve Vai to Joe Satrani melodic twists Hess musically
charters to places most bands within Progressive/Neo Classical metal dare to
explore. Opus 2 is a technical yet highly complex release utilizing
classical  ambiance to modern day speedy fretboard imagination. Six string
masterminds Tom  Hess and Mike Walsh web their thought provoking mastery on
tracks Nexuses,  Behold and Beyond The Brink. Overall creative merit Opus 2
lands between the  worlds of refined classical abilities to metal music
ingenuity. Emotionally  touching to its heart stopping harmonics Hess
discovers worlds not even sought  by some. Compelling and dramatic this
release speaks volumes.
