BENEATH THE VEIL OF WINTER'S FACE

Five stars for a great musical journey into the eighties. Wonderful melodic rock. But don´t be fooled and do not expect the polished "thirteen in a dozen" approach of all these well known melodic AOR rock bands. This is different. The songs are very well structured, varied and in a sense adventurous. Highlight is The Awakening: great singing and beautiful guitar solos. It is emotional, albeit not over the top. Mystery finds a balance on the sticky road between emotional and pathetic music. This is a great compliment and their Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face is one of the few CD´s that I have played regularly the last two years. Wonderful stuff and it is really worth a try.
