Super powerful!!! - If you love metal you will love this. Sapphire is the greatest metal love song I have ever heard. Fantastic and crushing drum rolls. Super fast guitar licks. For a not so known metal band, try these guys. They will surprise you.Fantastic!!!!
What Fates Should Be...... - Fates Warning was a great sounding heavy metal powerhouse full of progressive interludes. Of course up until recently they ve decided to be a touring band. That s just what Redemption is. This cd refueled what Fates Warning has taken away: the drive to make good music. There is a lot of raw energy here. Adler has a great voice and shows how divers he is. Some of the songs remind me of some of Kamelot s stuff (yes bonr) without the power metal drumming. This is truly something you should check out if you are tired of all the sameness in prog rock these days. I am sooooo glad that I, the honorable Vespucci ,(as sometimes called) discovered them.The band is tight and fresh,that s how music should be.
Progressive metal at its finest - The GoodThe Suffocating Silence is far from silent. Blood-thirsty guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and thumping bass lead the charge on the tracks momentous introduction. A fitting opening track I must say. The vocals glow with vibrant melodies and texture. Bleed Me Dry has a more subdued and darker tone to it. Be sure to listen to the intricacies of the guitar melody lines. Rapid-fire drum patterns, powerful vocals, and meaty riffs tear down the walls on The Death of Faith and Reason. Memory is a progressive metal fans wet dream. It clocks in at over nine minutes, it s heavy on the keyboard tones, and it has tempo changes a-plenty. Blind My Eyes focuses on the enduring and emotional vocals of Ray Alder. Used to Be is a balls-to-the-wall metal onslaught.The BadNothing notableThe VerdictProgressive metal at its finest.
As solid as Thought Chamber - This is an amazing Cd of hard rock prog tinged tunes. Ray Alder is awesome on vocals. This might be his best effort. And , that is really saying a lot because he s done such great work with Fates. The band is also solid creating some great songs. The drummer is especially interesting. This CD is worth checking out and I would love to see these guys continue. If they do, I have a feeling the best is yet to come.
Great stuff - I saw these guys open for Dream Theater last summer. I was really impressed and picked up their new album. This is excellent! Passionate playing here, especially on Memory which is just brilliant. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys prog metal.
