"Dawn is here, rise and draw your swords. We fight as one, for a risen Savior. The time has come, for him to pay. Let us take charge, and show true faith!"

Faith Factor combines high end, melodic based vocals with a twin guitar attack to create a work that can best be described as galloping riffs of pure classic, technical power metal. Former Deadly Blessing vocalist Ski fronts the group bringing a commanding, operatic elite vocal presence. Ski displays a near unlimited range when he cuts loose and goes for a high note (think Lance King, Geoff Tate, Midnight, John Arch, Dio, Bruce Dickinson). Metal To Infinity webzine calls Ski "...one of the best vocalists walking the planet... " And Magic Star Light zine says, "those familiar with Ski's vocals won't even bother reading the rest of this review before going to buy the album!"

"Against a Darkened Sky" is a rarity in the metal world. It's a dark and weighty slab of classic traditional heavy metal, technical and progressive as reflected in the numerous time changes and the band's frequent excursion into instrumental territory. Yet, the listener is drawn in by insanely catchy hooks at every turn. Fans of Recon, Iron Maiden, Crimson Glory, Iced Earth, Rob Rock, Forbidden, Hammerfall, and Queensryche have every reason to raise their metal fists high into the air. Epic, traditional, heavy metal is alive and well on "Against A Darkened Sky"!

"The smallest light slashes thru, the deepest depths of darkness."

Lyrics from "In God's Shadow" and "Light Replaces Darkness"
