Tell me about them.
One of the very few unique bands in the progressive metal genre (not including experimental/post and tech/extreme) combining DT with Cynic and an excellent use of jazz. I know, it doesnt exactly sound unique but give their second album, Delusions, a try and you'll see what I mean.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I listened to ChristO a few weeks back, and it struck me that they reminded me a lot of DT from the pre-Metropolis II era.

Quite good, I found, but at the same time I find it difficult to guarantee that it's not a DT clone. Depends on the current mood, probably.

On its own merrits though, I'd recommend it.

Sorry to be awkward but I have ChristO. Add Vanden Plas to my list.Embarrassed
