REVIEWS

“Ray Alder and Nick Van Dyk is always a winning combination, and The Art of Loss is no exception. (Not to put down the rest of the bad, who are equally as great. Get better soon Bernie!) I had one issue with the album and it was that Hope Dies Last was such a fantastic song full of inspiring imagery that I could not seem to stop replaying it and get to the rest of the album. When I eventually did let it play past that song, I was glad I did because the next song - That Golden Light - is amazing as well. The whole album is great, really. Thanks for the music guys, I can’t wait to see what you do next!”
— On the art of loss
“Sometimes super-groups result in something bland; a collection of musicians from other bands that get together to make something weaker than what their individual members can concoct. Thankfully, this prog-metal ensemble does not fail. Composed of Jason Rullo (Symphony X), Rick Mythiasin (ex-Steel Prophet), Bernie Versailles (Fates Warning) and headed by mastermind Nick Van Dyk, the album is a dark and rapid progressive effort. Most of the artwork was done by Travis Smith, whose portfolio includes some of the darkest and most lush landscapes in the metal scene. It is very fitting with the dark music that Van Dyk and company have arranged.”
— On Redemption
“This is definitely one of Redemption’s best works to date. They are one of the only bands left that have me pre-ordering CD’s on sight and for good reason. In an era where we all have hard disks full of music, I still want every physical piece of media these guys release on my shelf. ”
