Anthemon - French 'Symphonic Doom' (Prog ?)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Wandering around I came across French band called 'Anthemon' and
listened to their album 'Dystopia'. It's described as 'Symphonic Doom'
(what's in a name) but in my opinion it's one of the better Prog Metal
albums. 

Anthemon is not listed in Prog Archives thugh I would certainly
recommend to do so. Maybe other visitors have heard of them and can
make some judging.

By the way, French Prog Music is not very well known. I also found
Parallaxe (listed in Prog Archives) but their debut album was only
reviewed once. Soon I will make a second one. Parallaxe plays a
remarkable mixture of Metal and Jazz.

	I'm looking forward to 'Kadrevski'. Currently I try to get hold on 'Arcanes'. Wondering if it can meet Dystopia. Hamham, would you qualify Anthemon as Prog ? Herm...

	I'm not so good at doing genres, but I do see the progish influences in their music. Anthemon is prog metal in my book :p
