"Honest and competitive in its category of adult oriented rock...CERAFIM has a lovely sound... an aptitude to create enchanting melodies which merit being heard on the best FM stations. ... there is nothing missing in this group..." - Bruno Vermisse, Harmonie Magazine

"Cerafim is a Canadian band and their debut; “Sides of a different kind" released back in 1995. I cannot believe that I have been missing out on this talented band all this time. But now I am making up for lost time by playing the CD every chance I get. The music is just great melodic rock in the same vein as Saga or maybe Toto; but they really do forge a unique sound and style. All the tracks are well produced and well written, what a pleasure for the ear to enjoy. The band is made up of five first class musicians with Marcello Ciurleo on drums, percussion, and vocals, John D’Addona on guitar and vocals. Rick Kazmirchuck on keyboards, percussion, vocals, Jeff Morrison, lead vocals and Gabe Petho “Warwick” bass guitar, vocals. As I stated earlier, this is great melodic prog rock that you will want to play over and over again. The complex music and great melodies will bring you back for more. If you like Asia, Saga, and Genesis when Phil Collins was in control, you’ll like Cerafim for sure. Please check them out and the rest of the great artist, on Fossil Records." - Thomas Connolly, Prog4You.com

"Canada's CERAFIM bounce back with the latest Revelation CD and it's really cool AOR with a slight west coast and southern edge. The band has already released a couple of albums and the sound on this CD isn't too bad, nor are the songs.

The singer sounds like a more southern flavoured Steve Perry. First song 'Desert Of My Heart' is catchy and melodic AOR, 'Hurricane', reminds me of Dakota and Street Talk and is quite pompy. Then we hear the superb 'Revelation', layered with tons of keyboards and is a catchy AOR song reminding me of Toto, Thrills and of course Journey, and early Journey come to that. Good song, very catchy.

Next is 'Our Love', again this is poppy West Coast AOR and has lots of keys. Lastly 'I Believe' is heavier and more melodic, I loved this song with it's ripping guitar work from John D'Addona and cool keys from 'Rick Kazmirchuk, this song reminds me a little of Nightranger, Honeymoon Suite and also Thrills.

So once again Cerafim have delivered another worthy recording, if only they could get a label behind them to pay for a proper recording then AOR circles would start talking about these guys." - Nicky Baldrian, AOR DreamZones

"I had the pleasure of listening to and reviewing the first CD from Cerafim, “Sides Of A Different Kind”, in the February installment of this website. 
I was pleased with what I heard. 
Our Webmaster here at P4Y gave me this promo disc of 5 songs from the band, which I know is a preview of the forthcoming CD Revelation. If this music is an indication of what’s to come, bring it on guys. 
What we have is an ambitious new sound then previous work made by the band. With the myriad of heavier guitar sounds that they are forging; this creates a sharper edge to the music. 
I like the direction the band is going in, but I also like them to take some chances with the music, mix it up, keep the listening audience guessing more about what’s to come. Take it from me music lovers; check out the Cerafim CD Revelation when it’s released. 
The promo gave me a taste of what’s to come from the band; I can’t wait for the main meal.
Fans of Shadow Gallery, Dream Theater, Ice Age and lovers of melodic prog metal will want to check the CD out. I look forward to updating this with a full review once the CD is released. - Thomas Connolly, Prog4You
