SNOWFALL ON JUDGMENT DAY

The quest of finding the best album of 2009 has a new strong candidate! Redemption have completed the formula and delivered their best album. A bit heavier than the previous with the right tunes and the needed complexity. From the killer first riff to the fine melodies of Alder's voice this is prog metal at its best. Just the way I like it, overplayed but not tedious. Just listen to the solo's of Leviathan Rising. Surely all prog metal bands of our days can play really fast but no other can do it like them. 7 minute songs with odd rhythms, thundering guitars and the right voice. So is redemption a superband or a super band? Definitely the latter and with a great album they continue to prove it. This year of great prog metal releases, DT, Shadow Gallery and Redemption are the holy trinity of the genre.
