[Album Review]: Meridian - Manifest Destiny (2013)

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again. The birth of a new world is at hand..." 

 'Manifest Destiny' manages to sum up this band's incredibly diverse range of styles and influences in one seven-track record. The band Meridian explores symphonic and epic elements, hard-hitting and heavy progressive power metal that occasionally wanders into death metal territory, lush and ambient soundscapes, and folksy acoustic passages. At forty-five minutes in duration, 'Manifest Destiny' is a true musical odyssey. 

Listen now, and fulfill your Destiny!
