WINTERSUN

This album is an amazing album. This album is a prog masterpiece, and a masterpiece of melodic death metal. The music is technical and beautiful. The lyrics are anything but shallow, and are also beautiful. As soon as you turn the album, you are instantly assaulted by the brief yet amazing Beyond the Dark Sun sucks you in like a massive black hole. After that, you will hear the aptly named Winter Madness. After that song, sings start to cool down a bit with Sleeping Stars. The best song on this album is without a doubt Death and the Healing which opens with a slow guitar solo, and gets heavy after that. This songs lyrics are perhaps the best I have ever heard. I recommend this to all prog fans, metalhead or not.
