Ring of Gyges - Metamorphosis
Prog metal from Iceland. Very cool record - leaning on the modern side of prog, in a way, with more than a bit of Haken influence in there (Cabin Fever, Nautilus, The Face of God...). Sounds really good, with great vocals too. I like how it can be uplifting and heavy at the same time (the opener Dragonflies). Favorite song is probably Holy Water - a bit more mellow, but very "emotional", like the best Pain of Salvation, and with a beautiful ending.
Maybe not quite crossing into "greatness" yet, but this is very good. Anyone else here heard it?
