Disjointed Themes

This collection of Manic Hard Rock and Art-Metal provoked everything from casual intrigue to unhinged Excitement across music industries based in Warrnambool, Melbourne and beyond. Halliwell is inclined to refer to 'Themes' as his concept album, yet the tracks on this album are as separate as they are united (a paradox heightened by the inclusion of the 'Disjointed' descriptor in the album title). But from the moment the disc is spun, semantics become unimportant as the listener is pounded by the Sabbath-laden Riffs of 'The Black Sense', seduced by the Rhythmic incantations of the 'Concentric' compositions, and transported by the Folksy sunset cinema of 'April Evening'. The popularity of the latter track lead to the release of the limited edition April Evening/Ballad of Resolve EP in 2006.
