SOPHISTICATED

Newer, fresher and faster. This is the 4th album of the German prog-metal band, "Sophisticated". In contrast to the earlier releases the tracks are heavier and fast and more catchy and definitely more influenced by power metal. The guitarist Markus Steffen and the vocalist Jogi Kaiser left the band. While the new vocalist can't really reach the brilliance of Jogi Kaiser, the new guitarist seems to be really amazing. Great riffs and super fast solos. The two Holzwarth brothers remained, since they are the most important element of Sieges Even. Their work is amazing as always. So great melodies, catchy, easier than before although still very complex Recommended to any fan of progressive metal and power metal! Listen to "Trouble Talker" here at proarchives, via the stream. If you like this song, you will like the whole album!
