From the straight to your face “Living In A Dream”, to roaring “All Ahead”, to a neo-classical “From The Shadows”, to an epic of “The Liberator”, to tear-squeezing ballads, ASPIRE keeps it’s track of a pure Power Metal with strong classical and blues influences. Created in November 2004 by guitarist Al Candello and vocalist Ryan Metzger, ASPIRE now features five of the most gifted musicians in New York metal scene.
