ZERO HOUR [AKA: METAMORPHOSIS]

This is a re-release of Californian progressive metal band ZERO HOUR's self-titled debut album from 1998. The original demo-CD was self-financed and self-produced, but now it's been re-released on the Sensory label. Two tracks have been added together with two demo songs. The band is very technically skilled, they have strong vocals, the music is complex with many time changes and intricate melodies and there are reminiscences to AZTEC JADE, DREAM THEATER, FATES WARNING, POWER OF OMENS, SHADOW GALLERY and SYMPHONY X. The masterpiece "Metamorphosis" alone is worth the money for this CD together with "The System Remains". A safe buy if you're into progressive metal.
