Existence

...Let me introduce yourself to something that you'll enjoy for the rest of your life if you're a fan of high quality progressive metal. Existence is the high hope for a genre that nowadays didn't give us that kind of record that will leave our hears imploring for more sound of the hi-fi. Well, till now, this is the biggest album of the year in the genre, and certainly it will be the best till december. Why? Because cds like this have more musical art in one music than one whole album of some bands in the progressive scene. Imagine 77 min that equal parts of opeth, disillusion, pain of salvation, porcupine tree and dead soul tribe mix the original touch of this german band. The five men were performing last year in the large line-up shows of conterranean Disillusion, and gave the gigs such a light and taste that the attendance will certainly record the events. One of them was filmed, and certainly would be edited in dvd late this year. What you hear is what you always ever wanted to it: majority long songs with various moments of melody, passion, rage, high percussion, clean vocals, power vs. calm, dark ambients, string passages... uh, this is real cinemascope for your mind, and if your mind is closed, I'm sure that it will open just after the hearing of this stunning record. Very good production also, that gives the opus the perfect transmission of the entire message of pure art rock-prog metal... I don't have much more to say, I just want you to hear this record since the beginning till the end with your eyes closed and totally emerged in Dark Suns sound. If Back to Times of Splendor of Disillusion was for me the debut of 2004, Existence would be certainly one of my favorites of 2005... arty metal for the open-minded. Check out and enjoy this piece of art. The meaning of existence is in dark suns...
