THE CHAIN REACTION

Anthropia is a respected progressive metal band from France in last years . With two albums under their belt they gan reputation in prog metal circles. Second release from 2009 named The chain reaction proves that they mean bussines in this field. The music is something between Dream Theater, Adagio (from this french prog metal band comes as guest the keyboard player Kevin Codfert) and here and there some Malmsteen fast guitar moves, overall Anthropia manage to come with a pleasent , complicated type of prog metal. I like it, specially the instrumental sections are killer like on Whipping Soul, The Altar Of Trust or The Tree of Life, very complex prog metal with nice tempo changes and great keyboards, Yann Mouhad the guitarist is impressive. Also the duo female/male vocal lines works very well, both have pleasent voices, Nathalie Olmi in particular fits perfect here. All in all a band to watch in the future, definetly among the best prog metal bands France ever head so far. 3.5 stars for sure. Great art work and booklet..
