DeBaser hosts a single, strongly negative review of Avian’s debut, From the Depths of Time. The reviewer condemns the album’s songwriting and sameness, sparing praise for just one or two tracks. Lance King’s vocals and David Ellefson’s presence are noted but deemed insufficient to lift the material. Overall verdict: steer clear.
