"I noticed on the back cover of this CD a humorous-yet-serious little note asking to "file under: ambient neo-progressive cyber-rock". Scott's music is definitely ambient, and I can see where the term "cyber-rock" came from. However, I was sort of surprised to see the term "neo-progressive" used to describe the music. I'm certainly not a neo-progressive expert, so I was expecting something influenced by mid-70s Genesis, and the 80s neo-prog crowd. Scott's music, though, is futuristic, and without even one drop of Genesis influence. A close description of the music could mention a mixture of 80s Jean-Michel Jarre (maybe even 80s-90s Klaus Schulze), with Dream Theater-like atmospheres (drumming, and melodies), and a hint of Rush.  To make more sense of that description, the drums tend to drive the music in a Portnoy-ish sort-of-way. There is a futuristic ambience to most of the tracks that might remind the listener of Jarre. And, as the CD unfolds, many of the vocals surprisingly start to sound like Geddy Lee. Scott's take on ambient music is generally melodic, and engaging. I'm not a huge fan of pure ambient music. But Scott definitely wants the listener to focus in on the music even during the mellower, flowing, sections. All of the tracks are done using warm sounding digital keyboards, analog-like tones, metal-ish guitars, bass, and drums. An 80s production sound is noticeable throughout the CD, yet I don't know of any 80s band that sounded like this. Jarre is a close comparison, but he was 100% electronic and doesn't feature the metal-ish sounds favored by Mosher. So this CD is quite unique. Overall, Virtuality will appeal mostly to electronic, and ambient fans who are somewhat into metal, but if you're a fan of both Rush and Dream Theater I'm sure you will like the more ambient moments on this album." - Steve Hegede, Web Review

"The bio says that this CD must be filed under Ambient Neo-progressive Cyber Rock! Well, I think it is a fair description, because most of these elements are present on SCOTT MOSHER's CD. Multi-instrumentalist SCOTT MOSHER comes out of North Carolina and he has released a wonderful CD, filled with high quality Neo-progressive Rock. A lot of instrumental parts can be heard on the CD and I have to say not only the sound and production is very impressive, but also the way Scott plays the keyboards and guitars is terrific! Todd Corsa, who has an excellent melodic voice that can be heard on 4 songs, handles the lead vocals. These are the best songs on the album, namely "Virtuality" (great keyboard interlude, good neo-progressive melodic rocker), "Re-define" (excellent uptempo melodic prog/aor, best song of the whole CD), "The promise of truth" (superb HIGH QUALITY Neo-prog a la PENDRAGON) and "Sorrow in a world of darkness" (a dream for Neo-prog fans, playing length of 10 minutes, split in 4 parts). But the other songs are very good as well, only instrumental, still songs like "A season of fire", "The dreaming eye" and "Sometime after midnight" are very impressive Neo-progressive rock songs and a pleasure to listen to. I am glad to have heard this excellent Neo-progressive rock record, which reminds me a lot of SHAKARY, which we reviewed a few weeks ago. Go check it out." - STRUTTER Zine

"Artist Info: Scott Mosher has been a recording musician throughout the 1990's, and a graphic artist since around 1998. He has released two CDs - The Ambient Earth (1995), Virtuality (2001) and a cassette Horsemeat (1995).

Recording Info: Virtuality is Scott Mosher's 3rd recording. It is entirely composed by Mosher who also did the art work. It is self-produced and with the exception of vocals and a single guitar and bass solo is performed entirely by him. The 16 page booklet contains art work, lyrics, and tidbits of the artists personal ideology and philosophy.

Music is one of 3 elements of Mosher's product - the others being art and his personal philosophy on life. The album cover and booklet reflect highly on Mosher's skills as a graphic artist. The CD is accompanied by a 16-page full-color insert with lyrics, art & philosophical musings. It is rare to find a self-produced/self-financed album with such first class materials. At times sounding a bit like Rush and at other times making me think of Billy Thorp (Children of the Sun era), Virtuality also occasionally calls to mind Tangerine Dream and Ozric Tentacles. Mosher is obviously a talented musician who is responsible for everything you hear except vocals (Todd Corsa handles this sounding a bit like Geddy Lee) and a guitar and bass solo. His studio work (production & mixing) is top notch - this is an excellent sounding recording. Although there are discrete songs, the best way to listen to this recording is in its' entirety and I might add that the CD sounds best loud. It also plays very nicely in headphones.

Mosher calls this music 'ambient neo-progressive cyber-rock'. It is hardly an ambient recording and I would describe it more along the lines neo-prog/metal (but what's in a name anyway?). There are techno/trance elements to be sure, but the power of the rock elements ensure Virtuality is never boring or repititious. The guitar work is excellent, the vocals and melodies are good, and - unusual for this kind of work, the drums are fine (not to be mistaken for Neil Pert however). I like Virtuality. Neo-prog fans (who aren't bothered by the word 'metal') and prog-metal fans (who aren't bothered by the word 'neo') will like it too." - PROGNOSIS

"Scott Mosher is an independent American artist. His new album, Virtuality, seems to be a labour of love in many ways. The album was self-financed, Mosher played most of the instruments himself, and also did the beautiful artwork. I have always been a lover of science fiction stories and futuristic concept albums. So when I got Virtuality, I was very pleasantly surprised.

The album has a very convincing futuristic concept album feel! The vocals, melodies and overall atmosphere reminded me strongly of my three favourite Rush songs (Subdivisions, The Camera Eye, Red Sector A). This album has exactly the same "high tech sound": electronic, heavy and overwhelmingly progressive. The sound is quite "digital", with all these electronic drums and many sequenced synthesizers. But this cool and sterile sound works very well with the warm bass work, the heavy guitars and the powerful vocals. Half of the album are vocal tracks, with several movements, and mostly linked together with instrumental parts. The compositions are all very strong and well balanced. Most of the vocal tracks sound very Rush-like, like The Promise of Truth, Re-define and Virtuality. These are all sung by Tod Corso (nicknamed "Shreddy Gee"). Sometimes, the music of Ayreon comes to mind, like in The Human Machine, with Scott's own processed vocals. Most of the instruments are played by Scott Mosher, but there is a very convincing "band sound". I particularly liked the way all kinds of
sequencers and synthesizers are used in the foreground of the mix, as a full fledged part of the "band" sound. But no "romantic" or "dreamy" pieces here: it's all energetic and full of power. Every track is written and played in a complex and colourful prog rock style, with a heavy approach, but never hard rock or metal. Virtuality is a great
album.

I can highly recommend it to everyone who likes Rush, Ayreon, or the melodic side of Queensryche or Dream Theater. It might be hard to find in the shops, as it is mainly distributed by the internet. For ordering info (and sound bites) check out the links above." - Rob Michel, DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK PAGES

"It’s uncommon in today’s musical environment that you find a project, which an artist can truly call his own creation. Scott Mosher can, and delivers a CD that is very ambitious in it‘s scope and statement about the human condition today; also the outlook on the not so distance future.

Scott wrote, played, and produced the music and graphics that make up the CD and it’s accompanying booklet.  The music, which is described as neo-progressive, is actually much more new age, techno-trance and some fusion all thrown in the mix. This creates music that is quite incredible at times with its atmospheric keyboards and soaring guitar.  Scott wrote all the music and lyrics and plays all the instruments and performs vocals with a small assist from Todd Corsa on some of the songs.

I know most prog fans will find this CD very enjoyable with its mix of songs and moods that Mr. Mosher has created.  I would recommend it highly to all to check out. It’s a very fine recording with great production values and just looking at the detailed artwork is worth the price of the disc. This is a thought provoking and well-done CD." - Thomas Connolly, Prog4You.com

"One of the great virtues of current technology is how it enables enterprising, techno-savvy, multi-talented artists like Scott Mosher to share their art, their music, their "worlds", with the rest of us. Mosher has written and produced three projects featuring his art work, his synthesized, progressive rock and ambient electronic music. His discography includes the 1996 recording "Ambient Earth" and "Virtuality" released in 2001. Mosher's most recent CD, "Inferno" offers more of his awesome graphic art work and his trademark "other worldly" concept and musical composition. This recording is well produced and engineered as are all of Mosher's CDs.  However, there is a musical proficiency on this 2004 release that his former works did not achieve.  Most notably, "Inferno" offers a vastly improved vocal track. Like his other CDs, all music is composed, arranged and performed by Mosher.  There are also some very judicious guitar solos performed by Todd Corsa; they are in fact stellar. Although his music is profoundly reminiscent of epic rock groups and projects of the 1970's and 80's, Mosher brings such mammoth creative energy to the table there are few groups, not to mention individual artists, who can match his originality and prolific output. As you read his responses to the CreatorsWeb interview questions below and as you listen to his excellent recordings while browsing through the artistic booklet which accompanies his CD, you will begin to get a feel for Mosher's generative prowess." - Creator's Web

"Inferno is already the third CD by multi instrumentalist Scott Mosher. All instruments on this release are played by Mosher himself. Unfortunately the drums sound as if they come out of a computer and so don't help the sound of the CD. On most songs Mosher adds vocals done by excellent singer Todd Corsa. Onto music, imagine a mix of progressive rock like QUEENSRYCHE mixed with ambient music you might use for meditation. And it works surprisingly well. I especially enjoyed the monumental songs "Exile" and "The World Fades To Gray" and even the ambient techno remix of "Season Of Fire" is something you should listen to. The sound is o.k., but could be better, especially the drum part, but everybody who's able to ignore this and futhermore is open to experiments should have a try." - Christoph, Rock It! Magazine

"Scott Mosher has been a recording musician for over 12 years and a graphic artist for 4 years, and an award winning "allaroundniceguy" since birth. Currently he has not toured the world, he has not won an MTV musical award, he has not been featured in any Pop-culture revival metal magazines, he has not been a guest host on any late-night TV programs (although he did lobby the Arsenio Hall Show in 1990 as the 'doomed to a life of mediocrity guy' to no avail). He has yet to win a Nobel Peace Prize or the Kentucky Derby, but as an avid film-goer, movie buff, musician, graphic artist, social activist, environmental advocate, animal rights dude, cat-sitter, Dr. Pepper afficionado, imaginary Micro-biologist, he's continuously working on new music, indulging in binges of Vanilla coke, petitioning Peter Jackson to direct "The Hobbit" and watching for dragons in the sky. Scott Mosher plays an emotional instrumental Progressive Rock that you will never forget, a blend around styles as Progressive Metal, Symphonic Rock and mainly Electronic Space Rock, adding passages of Ambient Music, an intense collection of symphonic arrangements, rich themes with an amazing instrumental content around the keyboards, guitars and drums, all arrangements have a powerful dimension, with many synthesizers and electronic textures, driving an amazing instrumental atmosphere with sounds that leave from the music for an exterior space, adorned by intense guitar solos and harmonic vocals. Comparisons are hard to make, but we can say:  - The Scott Mosher´s music sounds as a blend of influences among the electronic music from "Tangerine Dream", together with the Progressive Metal from "Dream Theater"."Inferno" is Mr. Mosher's third CD (following Virtuality in 2001 and Ambient Earth in 1996) and continues in his tradition of synthesizing heavy Progressive Rock and Electronic Music. The album was released in 2004, all music composed, arranged, and performed by Scott Mosher, art direction, graphic design, and photography by Scott Mosher, includind ten songs where all them are relatively long. A special and particular attention to and my favourite songs are: "Inferno",  "Dark Sun", "Left Behind", "Exile" (is one of the best), "The Engines Of Industry" and "The World Fades To Gray". The main musicians on this project are: Scott Mosher  - Guitars, Keyboards (Synthis/Programming/Sequencing), Vocals and Percussion and Todd Corsa plays: Guitars and Lead/Harmony Vocals. Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable..." - Carlos Vaz, Brazil Progressive Rock

"It would seem the album title of "Inferno" is quite popular these days. Just for the hell of it I did a search online for albums with that title and came up with at least 10 different bands. Anyway, that´s got nothing to do with the somewhat spacey, ambient music contained on the disc so I will commence with the real part of the review now. Hehe. "Inferno" follows two previous releases, "Ambient Earth" from 1996 and "Virtuality" in 2001. Upon digesting and getting lost in the weaving patterns and mesmerizing vocals of Scott Mosher I came to the conclusion that this album is what would be the result by crossing RUSH (just check out the synthesizer work in the song 'Look Into You' for a fine RUSH example) and Mike Oldfield (if he decided to do a Metal album). Seriously, I really can´t help but think of "Tubular Bells" and music similar to that when hearing "Inferno". The distinguished compositions mainly center around progressive landscapes of melody and harmony that I find extremely relaxing. Every song is thoughtfully laid out so that it all gels instantly. Features a perfect production that allows the music to be heard clearly but still hold it´s emotion and colour. Listening to this is a pleasant and almost meditative kind of experience. Recommended for those with an open mind or have high levels of stress like myself. ;) Recommended tracks: the uptempo 'Ghostland', 'Engines Of Industry' which showcases some rather heavy guitar riffing coupled with great solo work and the title track, 'Inferno'." - Cheryl, Metal Gospel

"For those who were blown away by Mosher's previous release, Virtuosity, the release of Inferno was long awaited. Mosher returns with an album that features structures that are less ambient and more accessbile than his previous work and with greater emphasis on song structures in the Melodic Progressive Metal/Progressive Rock arena and with greater use of vocals. Stylistically this album brings to mind his previous work as well as that of bands like Rush, Tangerine Dream, Ayreon, and the Alan Parson's Project and Mosher's level of achievement is very good indeed. Inferno demonstrates Mosher's growth in composition, and musicianship, and brings a stronger focus in musical direction. The music is melodic and melodramtic and the melodies he brings out stick in the mind. Todd Corsa is a solid vocalist and though some tracks work better than others, his is a voice I want to hear more of. When Corsa adds his guitar solos on Descent and The World Fades to Grey he nails it; complimenting both the music and Mosher's own outstanding musicianship. Mosher shows himself to be one of the better contemporary artists at building songs over his keyboard driven compositions with powerful synth-washes and layered textures. Imagine a band like Tangerine Dream or Kraftwork mixed with Rush and you get a sense of how the synths and melodic prog-rock are blended together. Bands like The Alan Parson's Project are also suggested though Mosher rocks out with much more power. The song Minefield does an excellent job of illustrating the Rush/Tangerine Dream/Alan Parsons mix in a single package. Left Behind is another track which along with Minefield should bring in those who like their prog played with accessible vocal melodies. Left Behind has a radio-fade ending strengthing the relationship to the commerical side of Rush and the Hard side of Alan Parsons. I really think that these two artists in particular provide the waters in which Mosher music is navigating. Season's of Fire is a track that was also on Virtuosity. Here it has been remixed and actually sounds quite different. Re-mix it has a very late-70's/early-80's Tangerine Dream/Vangelis/Kraftwerk feel. It is very nicely done, but I think it does distract from the feel and direction of this album. I think Scott Mosher is going to release a great album and Inferno is an import step in extending the pathway from Virtuosity towards that eventual great release. How one feels about it may depend a bit; I suppose, on which direction you wanted Mosher to progress in his follow-up to Virtuosity. Regardless of whichever direction you may have been leaning towards, Inferno is still a better overall album - more focused, more mature, and more polished. His blend of prog rock/prog metal with Electronic music elements and ambience is producing a distinctive and unique sound and with Inferno as with Virtuosity has resulted in an album I can recommend to any who found the references in this review of interest as well as any who have heard and enjoyed Virtuosity." - DBSilver, Prognosis

“Inferno is multi-instrumentalist Scott Mosher’s third release over eight years. And judging by the consistent quality of this hybrid of ambient and progressive Space Rock, one can see why it takes so long to get a work out there. First of all, Mosher does all the writing, most of the instrumentation, and all the artwork for the booklets. And the packaging with each of his releases is second to none. But let’s talk more about the music. Mosher’s previous work, “Virtuality”, made my top five list of 2001. I described it then as a slick, immense cross between Ayreon and Rush. The same could be said of “Inferno”, though there is a more radio friendly sound on “Inferno”; but it’s still progressive. Like Hawkwind’s “Chronicles of the Black Sword”, “Inferno” begins by gravitating between vocal tracks and instrumental bridges. “Dark Sun” is a spectacular instrumental that pulls us into its nebular vortex, soon to erupt into “MindField” and “Left Behind”. This is vintage Rush, late seventies material, with plenty of moog and synth sweeps adding foundation to some steady, riff-driven rock. Part time guitarist, vocalist Todd Corso – the only other contributor to Mosher’s work - does sound like Geddy Lee but he stays clear of impersonating him. The gloomy 9 minute “Exile” pulls something of Brian Eno’s contribution to the “Dune” soundtrack, accessorized with Tangerine Dream-like loops. After the obligatory vocal session, the song erupts into a rocking three minute climax. “Engines of Industry” pays homage to industrial metal without the coldness, but it does have the mechanical repetition. It’s not my favorite genre nor is this my favorite track. “Look into you” is a heavy-riff ballad with pounding drum machine, a sound that recalls Eloy’s “Ra” album. “Ghostland” follows with another straight up space rocker. “The World Fades to Gray” is the album’s magnum opus. At 11 minutes it explores all the sounds and techniques that Mosher is able to muster without being self-indulgent or smug. Easily my favorite track on the album, it is more of a throwback to the last album. “Season of Fire” ends things with an extremely strong instrumental. It is a space-drenched saga that evokes imaginative journeys into the beyond. Fans of Tangerine Dream and electronica will love it. I have a few criticisms of this album, but they are minor. “Inferno’s” drum machines are more upfront and draw more attention to their artificial flavor on this album. While that’s part of the point of this type of music, their presence betrays Mosher’s ability to balance his digital landscapes with an organic flavor. I also find some of the middle tracks in the album a bit too radio friendly for my progressive tastes. But while “Inferno” may not perfect like “Virtuality”, it still remains one of the finest releases in the progressive space rock genre in recent years. Mr. Mosher is an excellent song crafter and his work is second to none." - Progvisions

"Inferno is solid Prog rock with an ambient wrapper. Sometimes Scott Mosher wears his Rush influences for all to "see," but this release goes further in establishing his work as a style in its own right. The CD opens with the downward-spiral sounds of the synth piece "Descent," but just as I am nearly subdued, it ends abruptly and slams up against the dark rocker "Inferno." Highly melodramatic, this title track would have been at home on any Ayreon release! "Inferno" is followed by the ambient but persistent tones of "Dark Sun" and a Rush-style rocker "Mindfield." Then, the program edges into a truly great set from "Left Behind" through "Exile" and "Engines of Industry." These tracks cover all Mosher’s bases, including great synth washes, melodic lead guitar, driving tempo, thoughtful lyrics and Todd Corsa’s powerful voice. This is the heart of "Inferno," 20 minutes of music crying to be heard. The rest of the CD is good stuff too, well worth the purchase price. Mosher reprises "Season of Fire" from his previous CD "Virtuality" as a bonus track. Here it is done as a sort of Giorgio Moroder disco-electronico. Listenable, but light in contrast to the album proper. Overall, "Inferno" is a great bit of studio wizardry, constructed and packaged with care." - Jeff Gebhardt, Open Ears

"Returning is this musical genius from New York with another slab of etherial madness. The shortest of his three releases, "Inferno" still chalks-up over an hour of brain-teasing Progressive Metal/Ambient and Gothic substance. Scott Mosher like the band Christopher is the American equivalent to Devin Townsend. Scott plays various instruments and is a damn wiz in the studio. If you're familiar with Devin's projects like the Devin Townsend Band, Physicist and Infinity, then throw in some Pink Floyd, Rush, Dream Theater and Yanni for how far out this guy can go. There's even a little bit of Trance and Techno thrown in without absorbing the Metal/Ambient style. There's some vocal parts and there's alot of moodier interludes of just music and an aural soundscape in the background that flows through your brain. You need headphones when you listen to this to get the full effect and all the nuances going on; just absolutely incredible and the songwriting is enigmatic in every way, shape and form. There's nothing like this out there in the scene. There's only a slight handful like Christopher, Braindance and VLE that I know of and none of them even sound remotely close to what Mosher pulls off. This is also a good thing since this type of music needs to be heard and the more bands that have an identity, the better." - Quintessence Fanzine

"This is the second time I believe I've heard SCOTT MOSHER. On this disc he does all the guitar work, synths, keyboards, programming, percussion & vocals. He plays a Progressive Rock style of music & is quite impressive. I wish i had half the talent he possesses. The music has a lot of ambince & atmospheric space sounds through out. There are a lot of soundscapes, melodic hauntiness & dark evocative music mixed in. The vocals are done in a melodic Heavy Metal & Progressive Metal style. This is one highly talented musician that deserves a lot of attention. Support this man!!!" - Beowulf Productions

"This was a very weird, haunting release. Very moody and at time it sounded like Rush if they played metal. I love track #4 it is so catchy it's not funny and the vocals rule. This is the project of one guy and he has been doing this for quite awhile now. If your looking for something out of the norm and different, then I suggest you pick this up and you'll be glad you did. TRANSCENDING THE MUNDANE: basementbar.com Scott Mosher is back. The intelligent and extremely talented musician is back to his home on Long Island and back with his best album yet. Scott played in a few bands in the nineties (Brom Bones and Horsemeat) before beginning his solo career with 1995's Ambient Earth. This album was instrumental and as the title suggests, mostly ambient. For his sophomore release (Virtuality), Scott recruited vocalist Todd Corsa, who sang on about half of the songs. Corsa's Geddy lee meets Geoff Tate style added a new dimension to Mosher's progressive writing. Inferno is a great follow up to Virtuality. Corsa plays a slightly bigger role as Inferno is more song oriented. The title track features his most expressive performance yet and the uptempo pace and superior drum programming make it Scott's heaviest offering. "Dark Sun" allows Scott's intricate keyboards to take center stage. Next is "Mindfield," the peppy keyboards and percussion, along with Corsa's vocals are a great match for early nineties Rush. "Left Behind" is the catchiest song here and Corsa's melancholy delivery adds yet another dimension to Inferno. "Engines of Industry" is an instrumental but it's a heavy, guitar oriented song which prog metalheads will love. "Ghostland" is yet another awesome tuen, Corsa sings with some different but very cool sounding tones. Inferno is the best of both worlds. There's plenty of progressive instrumentation but it's also more song oriented, with half the tracks running less than five minutes. Easily one of the best progressive discs of the year and a new level of greatness for Scott Mosher." - Brett VanPut, MetalCore Zine

"Rush meets Styx meets Queensryche meets the Blade Runner score by Vangelis? Be warned: This disc has teeth and it will bite you in the backside. Scott Mosher returns, serving up a hot dish of ambient rock as only he can. Fans of this visionary virtuoso will absolutely love this release, a "concept album" that is equal parts nightmarish voyage into the realm of industrial apocalypse and a faithful ode to experimental progressive rock at its finest. The guitar playing of Scott Mosher (he plays all instruments, mind you) and the lofty vocals of Todd Corsa make for a flammable combination. The synthesizers set the tone perfectly on "Exile" and listeners will love the layering that goes on in this particular track. The quality of the engineering and production work is both creative and intelligent here, and a big tip of the hat goes to Scott for his incredibly unique art designs that adorn the insert booklet. The eerie spacier moments on this disc are the most revealing in terms of what kind of potential Scott Mosher has. He ought to be writing music for the film industry. Watch out, Danny Elfman, because here comes Scott Mosher!" - Timothy Connolly, Inside Connection

"Well now, this is an interesting release. Mr Mosher has taken on the task of trying to fuse some dissimilar strands of music on this, his third release (following on from "Virtuality" in 2001 and "Ambient Earth" in 1996). What we have here is a meld of ambient texture, progressive metal and electronic soundscapes. All topped with with some guest vocals straight out of Queensryches "Queen Of The Reich"! I haven't heard the first two albums, but "Ambient Earth" is purely instrumental, "Virtuality" saw the arrival of vocalist Todd Corsa for a few songs, and this album is predominantly song oriented. After a brief intro, the title track kicks in and leaves you in no doubt as to where you'll be spending the next hour. A monster prog metal number set off with some apocalyptic lyrics, only the drum programming stops this becoming an epic. I'm not anti drum programming, and for most of the album they work very well, just not here. There are still a few instrumentals dotted about here and there with "Dark Sun" coming straight out of the Tim Blake (Hawkwind) school. "Mindfield" is oddly reminiscent of Rush, but Scott has gone for the "Roll The Bones" era rather than the usual seventies sound. It's one of the highlights here, taking the progressive tag literally, and updating the references for the 21st century. The Dream Theater fans amongst you will take most kindly to "Engines Of Industry", another cracking instrumental track which starts off slowly before unleashing a sonic assault at you. The best is nearly saved for last, with penultimate track "The World Fades to Gray". An 11 minute epic, grandiose in the best way, lyrically dripping with sadness and pain, while the music pulsates through an emotional journey, it is truly remarkable. An especial mention also goes to the stunning artwork, , also the work of Scott, which fits the album and concepts therein perfectly. There are many major acts releasing albums who don't meet the standards set by Mr Mosher. For those inclined to progressive metal, this comes thoroughly recommended. Nip off to his website, listen to some MP3s, then place your order. You won't be disappointed." - Stuart A Hamilton, METAL UK

"Mr. Mosher is back with a third solo album on his own label and I admire his dedication. I enjoyed this disc better than the last one for three key reasons. One, it’s heavier. Two, it’s catchier. Three he has toned down the left wing protest feel, which I feel has never had a place in metal. Leave that for the punk rock kids. Scott present a world-class package (again) with extensive notes, lyrics, photos uber-cool computer graphics, which I feel are becoming a bit of a trademark visual component. Again great production, heavily produced and crystal clear, but progressive rock/metal is supposed to be well produced and multi-layered. Primarily this CD, Inferno is a touch, darker, faster and heavier than Virtuality. Eleven songs with two long ones (eight and eleven minutes) most songs are slightly more compact. On the last album, eight songs broke the six minute mark, on Inferno only three do, one of them being a remix of ‘Season of Fire’ from the last disc. By this I mean not necessarily simpler but the songs seem top focus on, fewer, but somewhat stronger ideas. It’s a fine line and a subtle distinction as this truly is progressive, ambient space-rock/metal of the highest order. The songs are a bit faster, have a bit more crunch, the guitar tone is ever-so-slightly dirtier. Even so at over an hour this is a horsepill and requires a good attention span and attention to detail to absorb the nuances. Great album, great artist, I really hope (if he wishes) that Scott can make the jump to the big leagues. I could see him settling in nicely on Insideout or Magna Carta in the near future." - METAL RULES!
