I'M NOT A HERO

Switzerland may not strike as a focal point for Progressive Rock music, but all along the years a good number of Swiss bands made themselves a name amongst connoisseurs. Let's quote bands like Flame Dream, Dawn, Deyss, Clepsydra, Galaad and Metamorphosis. Founder and mastermind Jean-Pierre Schenk has been the only constant member in the 20 years history of this project, that began with the debut effort « After All These Years » in 2002. Heavily influenced by bombastic and symphonic prog, but also rather mellow and harmonic Gilmour-lead later Pink Floyd, Metamorphosis released two more records in a short interval « Nobody Cares » (2003) and « Then All Was Silent » (2005), before taking longer breaks for the next two albums, « Dark» (2009) we enjoyed a lot and « The Turning Point » (2016). 'I realised how much music depends on private life' Jean-Pierre says. 'If things get tough, your music becomes harder, more complicated'. For this newest release, the sixth one, now on the prestigious Progressive Promotion records label from Germany, « I'm Not a Hero », Metamorphosis return to their roots. Now a trio (instead of a quintet in the previous opus), Jean- Pierre Schenk (vocals, keyboards), Olivier Guenat (guitars, bass), Alain Widmer (drums) created an album with references to Pink Floyd as in their early works, but also full of beautiful harmonies, grandiose soundscapes and a deep melancholy feel. Gorgeous melodies, expressive vocals, fluid guitars and poignant keyboards... Yes, thrills are guaranteed!
