Ascension Theory is a studio project founded in 2002 by Tim Becker (keyboards) and Leon Ozug (vocals, guitar and bass), two talented musicians who got their start in the progressive metal outfit Aztec Jade. Departing Aztec Jade in 2001 and 2003 respectively, Becker and Ozug joined forces with drummer Chad Lenig and recorded Ascension Theory’s debut Regeneration in 2002 before following up in 2005 with a sophomore effort entitled Answers. The album continues to find Ascension Theory moving in progressive metal territory, creating a heavy but melodic sound certain to appeal to fans of Threshold, Stride, Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery, Theocracy and Queensryche. It is without a doubt that a great deal of melody imbues the material here, the likes of progressive based numbers such as “Passions Of My Heart”, “Lockstep”, “Perfect Plan”, “Saturn’s Reign” and “Answers” all standing out with their catchy choruses. A more straightforward hard rock direction, on the other hand, is taken on the goth influenced “The Way Of Death” while the ballad “To Be Content” highlights a softer side to the bands songwriting skills.
