THE AGE OF DREAMS

Sorrowful Winds is an unknown to larger public progressive metal band from Greece, with only 2 albums released so far. This is their second on from 2001 and the best they ever done since. The album entitled The age of dreams released at NMC label, some obscure label from Greece no one heared about, at least not me untill I saw this album issued, anyway the album is melodic with quite pleasent arrangements, some fine keybords passages. The production and sound is very poor, but the pieces stands as good all of them. The voice again , like on almost any band I've heared from Greece is weak, not entirely bad but this guy has no range, he tries but not fuly succeded to have some intristing and pleasent passages. Pieces like Strange days, opening track Upon a shore afar, title track or instrumental Pranayama stand as good progressive metal pieces, good musiciansip and pleasent arrangements. In conclusion an obscure band with obscure sound , but with a good album in this scene that desearve from me 3 stars, good release, but far from being something special. Fans of the genre can hear this album, but if not found they will not miss anything either. Good cover art btw.
