BENEATH THE VEIL OF WINTER'S FACE

The history of this Canadian progrock band starts in 1986, meanwhile Mystery has released five studio albums, this is their latest effort.

I am delighted about the very good singer, this man is a strong point in the modern, a bit polished music. The compositions sound tasteful and varied: from dreamy with bombastic eruptions in the titletrack, a slow rhythm with warm vocals and sensitive electric guitar runs in Snowhite, outstanding interplay (great drums), some bombastic eruptions and fiery guitar in Travel To The Night, a tight and propulsive beat with wonderful work on guitar and keyboards in The Scarlet Eye, from dreamy with twanging guitars to more compelling with fiery guitar licks in The Sailor's And The Mermaid and Awakening and a powerful mid-tempo with R&R guitar in The Preacher's Fall.

This is a very pleasant and melodic album, recommended to the fans of modern sounding progrock.
