The “long awaited and delayed split” by From Oceans to Autumn and Fire On The Horizon comes courtesy of Forgotten Empire Records, the label that also released From Oceans to Autumn’s debut Calmed By The Tide in late 2007. It's a sweeping collection of familiar figurative terms which isn’t immediately an indicator of great inspiration to me.

Split releases are mostly something strange; a glorified demo, or to promote a band to a similar bands audience, sometimes an epic release, and this is a bit of it all (except the epic part). Ten dollars for 65 minutes of music is nevertheless not a bad deal. Fire on the Horizon is a band with potential to follow up, and From Oceans to Autumn is a decent band, if you can stand attention claiming drums at least.
