Their first album was really good and their last was even better due to the extended variation in the soundscapes and use of more different instruments. Maybe not my favorite band at the moment or whatever, but they are great and I'll buy their next album or attend any show nearby without thinking twice.
Hm, really isolated case of anti-patriotism. Just My Brother the Wind seem to me boring and dull ... Do you know Brighteye Brison? I recommend!Thumbs Up

I couldn't stand the thought of Introitus without a vote. An absolutely marvellous band.

Of course, Canada is much bigger, Russia is even biggest country - and they haven't too much successful bands inside or outside Prog.

As masterful as Destined Solitaire is, i listen to all of Anekdoten's albums and many more times too.

In any case, Anekdoten, with Anglagard close behind.

Landberk would be in my top three behind Anekdoten and Anglagard. The Swedish holy trinity.Big smile

Anglagard all the way! I'm appreciating them more and more as time goes on. The only modern Symph Prog I can really tolerate, really. Cool I love me some of that Samla and Brother Wind too.
