Dreamscape - Everlight 2012

Dreamscape is a progressive metal band from Munich, Germany. (source: Wikipedia... lol). Ok, I know little about this band but their coming up album is a good one. Dreamscape Everlight is by comparison something like Dream Theater on their Six Degree era combine with Ayreon outer space atmosphere. What good in Dreamscape is their diligent song writing. Each of songs on this album are carefully written. This also make the album somewhat a serious work that need to carefully listen a few more spin. Their opening track Final Dawn, an instrumental is an ambient overture, seriously taking us to the first progressive metal song we got here, Restless. This followed by Led Astray are dark feeling atmosphere.

Keep holding on your breath because up until the exhausting A Matter of Time Transforming, the band keep pushing the edge of their musicability. Tons of shreds of guitar and keyboards to prove they need more world attention. Things only got more relax and a changing of atmosphere from One, where they explore more into the light side of music. The Calm Before the Storm is the ice breaking instrumental there.

This album packaged with bags of new progressive tricks. Surely a new progressive material that can stand high until the end of 2012.
