AGE OF ELEGANCE

This totaly unknown US prog metal band named Lord Bane released as far as I know only one album in 1994 named Age of elegance and then gone into oblivion and disbanded in early '00. They reunite but under diffrent name - Morpheous releasing one album in 2003 named Needle's eye. Well, what we have of Age of elegance is something like a tribut to Queensrycke, Fates Warning and Crimson Glory, that epic prog metal with soaring vocal parts and quite good guitar passages. For me the forte point on this album is the voice of Shawn Ame, I like this type of vocals, very much founded later one on quite many prog metal acts, among others on Mercury Rising or australians Eyefear. For me the best tune is Fawns, excellent prog metal from early days of thys style when not every band sounding like DT. A nice obscure record, nice art work aswell. For me a good one and desearve 3 stars.
