OUT OF MYSELF

Well, I don't think this is a "prog-metal" band. Sometimes they use distorted guitars, some "hard rock" bases, but... the sound is pure PROGRESSIVE ROCK. For me, progmetal are the bands that follows the "Dream Theater" influence, that think for the first time in heavy metal, after this in make sounds in progresssive ways, or then the bands that only want shows empty guitar and keys solos, that never ends... But RIVERSIDE is over all this dullness. They present here a solid work, with great influences of PORCUPINE TREE, and a little FLOYDIAN touch. Sometimes they show a heavy guitar, like in "Out of Myself", but don't make the same mistakes like the progmetal bands, that only want show selfish playing... I will not give 5 stars for this disc, because I don't think they can be compared with the Great Masters of Prog scene, but the polish guys did an excelent debut album!!! I hear this album very assidous times, and I like it more and more...
