THE PURPOSE PARADOX

Dilemma

Heavy Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This progressive rock band from the Netherlands originally formed in the 90's, released one album, then disbanded, but re-formed many years later to release a new album in 2018, Random Acts of Liberation, and now they are back once again with a very strong album in The Purpose Paradox. They blend beautiful vocals and melodies with a heavier prog core. Generally open songs with somewhat mellow vocals, melodies and harmonies, which then often build to much heavier riffs, flirting with but never fully delving into prog metal (which is a good thing). Generally synth-heavy, but also with some really good guitar work, and those great vocals and catchy melodies. Sort of like mixing Toto with Dream Theater, which so happens to work very well. Best Tracks: Sanctuary, Outer Light, Not Enough Now, Thunder, Electra. Rating: 3.5
