a true prog METAL album with HEAVY sound!

MAN!

I've been waiting since the 80's to experience a TRUE power prog metal album with the powerful , BOTTOM and razor sound of the electric rhythmic guitar, that only Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Whitesnake, Headpins, Accept and Van Halen were capable of! No bands, until now, were really able to produce a VERY rich, powerful, bottom,  loud and razor sound of the 80's. Superior came close, at least with their Behind album; but one thing is sure: Ark, Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, Ayreon, Psychotic Waltz, Cynic, Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend, Eternity X, Threshold, Sieges Even, Spastic Ink et al were not even close.....well, the goal of prog metal is not necessarily to have a perfect metal guitar sound, which is understandable.

On the other hand, there is a band who seem to really care about how powerful and clean their guitar will sound, and this band is CONCEPTION! I'm now into the "In your multitude" album, and let me tell you it is a real pleasure for the ears: just to rediscover the HUGE sound of the 80's! One must tell that the BASS really helps to enpower the already EXTREME rhythmic guitar! Now, for those who want to know what is power metal, then just listen VERY loud to the track "Solar Serpent": WWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Just hear all the powerful BOTTOM combo bass-guitar! UNBELIEVABLE!

This is what we CALL TRUE POWER METAL-oriented prog!

I realised you are deeply enjoying the album...

Groups like Mercyful Fate, King Diamond and Spastic Ink always have been so far above that crap. It never was about double bass and stupid harmony f**k. I'm drunk, sorry, more or less. How about being a little more tolerant of other forum member's tastes?
