DREAM CHASER

Rendezvous Point

Progressive Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

1. Don't Look Up start for the sound with LEPROUS mixed with MUSE; interesting this syncopated synth putting the rhythm on a modern sound 2. Oslo Syndrome for the heavy cottony intro, the sound that gravitates between ambient and hard rock, for the small spatial break that makes a bewitching progressive fade, Petter's guitar solo moves; return to the almost pop rock new wave vitaminized chorus 3. Utopia for the continuation of the intro, like on a concept album; after it is Geirmund who sets the mood with his voice flirting with that of Einar and Fredrik of MARATON 4. Fireflies with the latent intro and the variation recalling the structures of HAKEN; softness and eloquence, energy and progressive variation with this intense djent distilled with finesse; musical oxymoron.

5. Presence for the radio hit with the energy of the guitar and synth riff and the marshmallow rendering of the invasive vocal; a layer of keyboards and Geirmund holds the title with this 'I Can't' hakenien precisely 6. Wildflower good and redundant lacking the pep of the start 7. The Tormented with again a beautiful solemn, majestic heavy djent intro, with a lot of explosive pads from Baard; the phrasing vocal on the destructive riff which rises on a dreamlike crescendo with a rapped air which goes strangely well; mention well to Gunn-Hilde and her roaring bass 8. Still Water for the terminal ballad on the airy piano, Geirmund showing the extent of his talent; the a capella or almost highlighted by the synth for the classico-symphonic crescendo which makes you shiver to the tips of your toes! An easy but moving title which proves that in terms of emotion with new prog metal we can go very far.
