Nemesis - Eden?

SKU SR3015
In the late '90s, Nemesis quickly rose to the top of the Hungarian progressive metal scene with their two albums "Nemesis" and "Abraxas". Frustrated by an inability to cross over into the Western metal arena the band briefly dissolved. After reforming with a new lineup the band decided to re-record and re-arrange their old material but with a major difference: this time around they would sing in English. The band recorded two albums, "Eden?" and "Psychgeist". "Eden?" demonstrates the band's ability to create dark and moody progressive metal laced with heavy riffing, keyboard driven spaciness and an exotic Eastern vibe. Influences of Dream Theater, Fates Warning and Pink Floyd are present but the combinationis unique and clearly defined as Nemesis' own sound. Sensory will follow up the release of "Eden?" in six months with "Psychogeist".

This cd is just excellent and at that price it is a complete steal. When I first heard Nemesis I wasn't sure if I liked the vocals, but after listening for a while that changed. Very similar to DT, but they have their unique style and they certainly measure up in every way. A must buy at this price.

This is the third cd from the Hungarian group now called "Age of Nemesis", and their first with English lyrics. This is a great cd at the normal price, and is a must have at $4... you can't go wrong. Similar in style to Dreamscape, Tomorrow's Eve, Dream Theater, Poverty's No Crime and Silent Voices, there's plenty of punch in this well-crafted progmetal. Their two follow ups as Age of Nemesis (Psychogeist and Terra Incognita) are both superb. Check out their web site --> http://www.ageofnemesis.com/engFrameset.htm

I ordered this CD simply from the description and because of the super price and was pleasantly surprised. Musically it is very good, the main problem is it is lyrically weak. That I'm sure is due to being the groups first English CD. That being said, I would easily recommend this disc to any fan of prog, who likes a little heaviness mixed in.
