WE FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING

The Swedish progressive symphonic metal / hard rock band BOOK OF HOURS were put together in 1996. This is a four-track demo tape, and it's their second, showing a band on the verge to a break-through. BOOK OF HOURS influences are as diverse as BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, JUDAS PRIEST, HELLOWEEN, DREAM THEATER, PET SHOP BOYS, SPIN DOCTORS, TORI AMOS, MESHUGGAH, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, GENTLE GIANT, BJÖRK and RADIOHEAD. They seem to be big IRON MAIDEN fans as two of their favourite albums are Bruce DICKINSON's "Skunkworks" and IRON MAIDEN's "Piece of mind". Their music is reminiscent to ANEKTODEN, and just like ANEKDOTEN they are frequently using distorted bass. My favourite track are the final "Den trettonde månaden", which got lyrics in Swedish. I recommend this CD, especially if you're into ANEKDOTEN.
