Comprised of members David Taylor (vocals), James Evan (bass), Billy Queen (drums), plus guitar duo John Berry and Derek Eddleblute, power metallists Jacob's Dream hails from Columbus, OH, and is comparable to such '80s prog-metal gods as Dream Theater, Queensryche, and Iron Maiden. Originally formed in 1994 (as Iron Angel), the band issued a self-titled demo two years later, which, after selling over 3000 copies on its own, landed the quintet a recording deal with Metal Blade Records and ultimately resulted in a pair of releases (2000's self-titled full-length and 2001's Theater of War).
