Contingent sees Pyramaze back with the same lineup as their previous album. Fans will get what they expect here-- excellent and consistent power/prog metal from Denmark. Nothing here is particularly original, nothing breaks new ground, but it's a joy to listen to. There's a wall of sound--everything beautifully and cohesively layered together. Interesting enough to hold your attention, not so complex that it loses all sense of melody. The guitars and vocals are prominent (there are, after all, two guitarists) with the keyboards and drums typically more in the background, although they each have their opportunities to shine.

Norwegian Terje Haroy has a solid, old-fashioned metal voice, strong and formidable without being too eccentric or growly. Track 12 features vocalist Kristen Foss and a softer tone, providing a nice change of pace. The music is energetic and hopeful. Highly recommended for power/prog metal fans. 4 stars.
