Qumran\/Dark Star<\/p>\n
Since 2005 SACRED DAWN has been a force to reckon with in Chicago\u00b4s metal scene according to the info sheet. They are also described as innovative and unique, as they deliver the most original progressive metal experiences since the dawn of true prog metal. Influences such as DREAM THEATER, NEVERMORE and IRON MAIDEN are listed. They have debuted, years back, with \u201cGears of the Machine\u201d. So, prepare to be swept off yer feet. <\/p>\n
Opener \u201cThe Untold Story\u201d is not much of a beginning. I wished for more of almost everything, better drive and something inspiring to start with. Now I may sound very disliking but that is not true. There are better openers, the title track for instance, but also \u201cDemon Lover\u201d or \u201cSummer of Treason\u201d. I note a becoming resemblance to KING DIAMOND at times. The usage of various high pitched voices and some truly fine guitar work are no disadvantages. Brian Kim also contributes some enchanting keyboard work, not least the Hammond style pattern in \u201cWhat You Did to Me\u201d. But at the end of the day the music business is quite a lot about being catchy and appealing. I simply can\u00b4t find the reasons for enthusing, there is something lacking. Spark perhaps; or the chemistry that has denoted many great bands, not least among SACRED DAWN\u00b4S influences. Musically speaking there isn\u00b4t much more to ask for, but I don\u00b4t get swept off my feet by this release otherwise. <\/p>\n
