hAND are a sophisticated highly competant three piece band playing truly original compositions with real guts and enthusiasm. Every track has at least one strong musical theme but usually there is real texture, depth and variation woven around the core. Some strong and memorable riffs and where the pace picks up early on in "Clannad Mass" there is a real classic moment of spine shivering guitar. Rocking on the metal side with with Prog' and Goth influences, edging towards creating a new genre all by themselves.
