Canadian band BOREALIS debuted with \u201cWorld of Silence\u201d 2008, and has since played the famous ProgPower USA in Septenmber 2010. Not bad at all from fresh-faced band. Classic power metal is their game, but spiced with touches of bands like VANDEN PLAS and DREAM THEATER. A heavier approach than before is promised, produced and mixed by Jodan Valeriote and mastered by Tomas Johansson at Panic Room Studios. What could possibly go wrong here?<\/p>\n
One thing for starters, this is not music for musicians, but heavy power metal with a good deal of progressivity. The title track may well be the low point, together with \u201cTake You Over\u201d. Those two are not as engaging as the rest, well-executed as they are there is simply no real spark. Otherwise the average song on this album reaches above par. There are soft interludes, catchy refrains (for this type of music), a beautiful and soft piece of craftsmanship in \u201cWatch the World Collapse\u201d. \u201cWorlds I Fail to Say\u201d has DREAM THEATER all over it, but serves to show that BOREALIS aren\u00b4t quite there. That is not me saying that they aren\u2019t excellent, but you know DT\u2026 There is a growled part in opener \u201cFinest Hour\u201d, which is not recommended and prevents that track from reaching its true potential. BOREALIS deliver quite a lot here, they don\u00b4t really break new ground but they show off as serious contenders should DREAM THEATER break up or so. <\/p>\n
