COLOUR TEMPLE

The first time that I heard the name of "Vanden Plas" maybe was two or three years ago, in a coversation with some friends and then we are talking about this guys from Germany and somebody told me that they were a terrific prog-metal band, with a prog style to make music, but they used to play their music in a "melodic" way. That day we commented just that.

Time later, I bought this album and I thought about the conversation that I had time ago and listened the record. Wow the first song (father) inmediately I liked, the same way I enjoined the rest of the album, in sometimes I felt certain "Savatage sound" in their songs and the voice of Andy Kunts made me to remember Biff Byford's voice (Saxon vocalist).

To finish just I have to say that this band has a great future in the Prog-metal field, but they must develope more their own style (because I detected some influences "in high degree" from Dream Theater) and they have the talent to do it.

Maybe the first record from this German band isn't absolutely prog-metal that is sure, but is a good album to begin a possible great career.
