BENEATH THE VEIL OF WINTER'S FACE

Looking for melodic prog with a hint of AOR yet not cheesy ? Mystery could be the answer for you! Make no mistakes there's plenty of engaging prog hooks and even a touch of neo prog in there but what really sets this band apart from many others is their thoughtful and personal lyrics and the way in which the singer delivers them think "Ted Lennard" from Enchant with a slight Steve Perry influence. It is exciting to find a CD as good as Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face they don`t come along everyday in this modern prog industry, but when they do it is important to write a few lines in the context of a review to let people out there know that this is a very good CD !!! I hear so many influences I love when listening to this CD from the prog tendencies of Kansas to even a bit of Rush & Saga.

Its hard to believe I just found out about mystery not long ago if I hadn`t taken a chance I`d be not so blissfully ignorant ;)

9/10 rating, truly excellent stuff !!!
