FALLEN STARS AND RISING SCARS

This is Greece's Wastefall's first or debut album. The sound here is very much like Pain Of Salvation with a different twist to things: The Greek accent. Domenik Papaemmanouil has an extremely lovely voice mixed in with the usual Gildenlow/Patton vibe mixed in with his keyboard playing and guitar playing. Unfortunately Wastefall does not utilize keyboards as much as a Prog Metal band such as Symphony X or Dream Theater, sounding very much like the minimal use that Dream Theater does. This album is really nothing special, except it signifies the first band that almost seemingly loves Pain Of Salvation's unique and whacky style. The vocalist of course is one that ACTUALLY can keep up with the voice of Gildenlow. Because of that, this album needs to owned by any PoS fan.

3/5. Shows a lot of potential just waiting to come out.....
