Press Reviews Too many to list....just a few would be Music Outlook Magazine, Metal Maniacs, The Syracuse New Times, The Syracuse Newspapers, and radio interviews on numerous stations. Besides a great deal of press, there have been numerous internet reviews (both good and bad). Here is an example...I really liked Experiments in Mind Control by Chris Halen's Atmos Fear X. The main melody made feel uneasy. It brought to mind feelings of paranioa. I think that's cool. The piano break is good. The reverb sounds haunting until it speeds up and the beat comes back in. Good job.(review by Ted Stinson of Soul Leech - www.mp3.com/soulleech)
