Atomic Opera have only been in existence since the beginning of the year, but it shouldn\u2019t be too long before this Florida quintet start making a name for themselves.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s first demo contains two tracks \u2013 \u2018Kamikaze\u2019 and \u2018Take Control\u2019 \u2013 both showing touches of Iron Maiden but far heavier; especially the latter which whips up into quite a thrashy affair making good use of their twin lead attack.<\/p>\n

Vocals from Ryan Dalton are adequate if not over-impressive, but he is not helped by the poor mix of the tape. Given a good production, Atomic Opera could develop into quite a promising act indeed.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s full line-up is Ryan Dalton (vocals), Todd Grubbs and Hal Dunn (both guitars), Mike Martinez (bass) and Mike Furney (drums).<\/p>\n
