Debut album from 1986 by this veteran American Progressive Heavy/ Power Metal band from Florida. Released after several years in the underground scene and a string of highly regarded demos, "No Place Like Home" became SIREN's definitive introduction and the release that established the band as a cult name within US Metal. Far removed from the more commercial trends of the era, the group developed a dark, atmospheric and highly distinctive style, combining the power of American Heavy Metal with uniquely progressive elements.
Within the band's catalog, this album is still regarded by many fans as its defining work. Tracks such as "Iron Coffins", "Over the Rainbow" and "Terrible Swift Sword" showcase a unique musical identity characterized by dark atmospheres, unconventional arrangements and the distinctive vocal style of Doug Lee, later known for his work with MEKONG DELTA. More than simply a US Power Metal album, "No Place Like Home" occupies a category of its own within the 1980s underground scene and is frequently compared to cult acts such as GLACIER, SACRED BLADE, GRAVEN IMAGE and early SAVATAGE.
Recommended for fans of: GLACIER, SACRED BLADE, SAVATAGE, CRIMSON GLORY, HEIR APPARENT.
