Sounds Like
'Powers Court' has been compared to King Diamond, Iced Earth, Control Denied and Manilla Road on crack! They also had one respected journalist comment, "If Wagner wrote heavy metal, this is what it would sound like! The guitar sounds like a machete cutting through flesh!"
"Some Americans who only scratch the surface erroneously refer to Powers Court as 'old skool' because they have melody and a somewhat more classic style of metal vocals vs. the current three chord, tuned down style with gutteral vocals that is so overdone right now in America. This is however a very short sighted evaluation because the band is an eclectic mix of many metal styles encompassing prog, thrash, classic and even some death and black metal elements blended with classical music and sometimes accompanied with very original vocal harmonies in a totally unique mix that is decidedly different and ground breaking. Their style is more eagerly accepted by cultured metal aficionados who appreciate Powers' vocal acrobatics along with the band's sophisticated time changes, melody lines and lush atmospheric compositions." Eric Saunders - The Metal Inquisitor
