DEGGIAL

3.5 stars really. Now I am no fan of the genre but this one struck my ears as a little different - although I rarely hear any of those progmetal bands , I don't really know if this is unique/oneofakind stuff but to me this sounds different. In normal non-metal prog , I can only think of Par Lindh 's second album Mundus Incompertus that could approach (but not come close to it) to this style of music. The fact is that the singing makes the difference (but it does also in After Forever) but the music is also less metal-like (or so it seams because the intricaties of the music on this album. I rarely review progmetal , because it is a language I have yet to grasp (chances are that I never will because I will never try hard enough - shame on me!) but I did find this entertaining enough to listen to it twice ansd occasionally ask my friend to replay it when I come over to his house . I have heard stuff before that album was less (or not at all) prog and some stuff after this album had not the same feeling
