Andromeda - Chimera

10/10

This Swedish formation continue being the best progressive metal band, with the addition of a new bassist, they comeback with another impressive album, the formula is pure prog metal once again, extremely technical, they keep creating perfect music, the three year wait worth-while, Chimera is conformed by nine songs and one bonus track, periscope, is the best song of the album, simply awesome, the power and rapidity of the drums are amazing, Thomas is the best drummer over the world, no doubt! All the band members made an excellent work in the entire album, Johan’s guitar quickness, loud distortion, he creates a figure in the guitar and suddenly he plays something totally different, very impressive, Fabian’s great debut, check the song The Hidden Riddle, David’s voice and the chorus are magnificent, in the song Inner Circle, at the four and a half minutes the show starts, Andromeda’s trademark, and In a Blink of An Eye, at the end of the song Martin plays the periscope part with the classical piano, simply geniality! Now it’s time to wait for the tour.

Myrath – Desert Call (2010) – Review by Logan Lee

 

 

            Finally! Something new without letting our progressives roots behind… Myrath has accomplished on their brand new album (which I am gladly hearing it now for the tenth time) “Desert Call”.

Fates Warning to release deluxe edition of “Parallels” on March 16th, 2010!
Fates Warning has announced the release of the deluxe edition of their seminal 1991 album, Parallels! Fans can get their hands on this new take on the album on March 16th, 2010. The deluxe edition has been completely re-mastered and contains well over 3 hours of music and live footage. Parallels is the sixth record from the prog metal pioneers and was one of their music successful releases due to the commercial success of the singles Eye To Eye, Point Of View and We Only Say Goodbye. Also, James LaBrie of Dream Theater fame makes a guest appearance on the track Life In Still Water. Parallels has proven to be one of the most influential albums in the prog and metal genres, despite its hotly debated status among fans as a "commercial" sounding album.

Vocalist Ray Alder comments further, "I think it’s one of the best albums we ever put out and I’m happy that fans have the chance to take a second look at this important record. The lineup, the songs and the cover art all came together to make a great package when originally recorded and the bonus DVD really adds a fresh perspective to the album."

Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way of Orwarrior (2010) – Review by Logan Lee



 

            Orphaned Land is indeed what Opeth would be if they were not Scandinavian but from the Middle East. This amazing album follows their usual dichotomy line guide (good x evil; ligh x dark; Hope x Delusion; ecc) and presents, as always, great progressive passages mixed with local folk music and some really good death metal influences.

Equal Vector ( Aspectations ) 8 / 10
User Rating: / 1
Tuesday, 02 February 2010

 

A Prog Metal- Rock band from Greece, Equal Vector have some really great qualities for a pretty obscure band. They have some great melodies accompanied by some very talented musicians and a vocalist who reminds me of  a cross between Ray Alder and Andre Matos. I am pretty sure this is their first and last album as they have now split, which is a great shame as there is some true song writing potential here. The band reminds me of  Dream Theater and Redemption which is nothing new there.

AtmOsfear – Zenith (2009) – Review by Logan Lee



 

            We have been waiting for a while, but after long six years AtmOsfear returns with this very impressing piece of music work called Zenith. When I first listened to their previous album “inside the atmosphere” I remember thinking that their style was very interesting with a proper mix of metal and prog influences. Well, Zenith may be considered a follow up, even if it is a bit more into prog (and I add FORTUNATELLY).

This is Alchemy X start album and as such might be heard with more sympathetic ears. With that in mind I also would like to add that their style is not what I usually hear (and enjoy).

The Fractured Dimension 10/10
User Rating: / 1
Thursday, 07 January 2010

 

 

Exploring the boundaries of music is what this album is all about. The Fractured Dimension are Jimmy Pitts on Piano, Keys, Jerry Twyford on Bass and Alex Arellano on Drums. They have also gathered some amazing musical talent including the amazing Ron Jarzombek and the Dutch guitar whiz Marcel Coenen and thats just to name a few. What we have here is a blend of Fusion, Jazz, Classical, Prog metal all played with incredible quality, these guys are truly some of the greatest musicians of the genre!!
