Originally formed in 1999, ten years later, the Greek-Polish band, Sorrowful Angels release their debut album “Ship In Your Trip” rooted in the glooming territories of human expression as they like to say. After a very long period of up’s and down’s, Sorrowful Angels crack their way into our world with an album melancholic in mood which, strangely how, can bring enthusiasm to the followers of this specific heavy metal genre.
\r\nJust on time when I needed to hear anything but high pitched vocals again! This is the second album of the band, after “Trance State” and it is a very interesting proposal for the prog metal fans. “Homeland” gathers many elements from bands such as Symphony X, Elegy and Tad Morose, and it could also appeal fans of Angel Dust, Vanden Plus and Symphorce as well.

\r\nDEFIANCE ARE BACK\r\n \r\n
\r\nAmerican Veteran Thrashers - Defiance - are finally ready with their fourth album , released through Candlelight Records. The band announced their reunion in 2005 and now after 4 years they are finally ready with their new full length album,called - The Prophecy - and its a great Thrash experience with many great songs.\r\n
\r\nI remember, as if it was just yesterday, when I first watched the video for the song “Siren” and I was mesmerized. I was listening to this song every day. It was this very special thing about Theatre of Tragedy compared to the other bands back then. It was something charming.
It is historically proven (and history never lies) that excessive\r\nprogress destroys any former state of being. From a point on we’re not\r\ntalking about evolution but mutation. Unfortunately this is a universal\r\ntruth and affects music as well. I usually am very cautious when it\r\ncomes to bands that characterize their music “progressive”.
I am delighted that Thessaloniki "turns" bands. I am even more delighted, cause those bands compose and produce greak music. Until Rain belong to that category and I am about to review their first album The reign of dreams. The band is progressive, capable to charm the fans of Savatage, Shadow Gallery, Dream Theater and Fates Warning.
\r\nAt Vance once more are following the same musical way that we all know, and they give us a new album which may not have surprises but it is superb! Those who are fans of the group know what they should expect. It’s a fact that when Hartmann was behind the microphone, their name was much more glorious, yet that doesn’t necessarily mean something for the present of the band as it’s all a matter of timing and, of course, of a matter of what fans prefer the most.
