(Burning Star Records) Total time: 57:57
Being around since 2003, the Greeks finally issue their first full length album named “Caught In this Iless Storm”, a very interesting attempt, leaving their mark on the scene. Their previous Demo CD “Asymmetric” has received very good reviews in 2005 leaving great prospect for future. Well, taking first things first it is of high importance to portray the band’s purpose which is to play music in a way that a listener not familiar with the sound can enjoy and at the same time a listener that searches for something more is intrigued. ART OF SIMPLICITY basically play progressive metal, with many elements from jazz and classical music, following paths engraved by great bands such as Pain Of Salvation and Dream Theater, however they have achieved to combine and enhance their music with very interesting ideas resulting to an inspired personal sound. Very good vocals accompanied with well played guitar riffs and solos along with different sounds and instruments such as piano and violin, form a constantly changing environment, describing the band’s purpose to the limit. The production is of high quality standards whereas songwriting is complex enough to satisfy the demanding listener, but at the same time simple enough to leave memorable moments in mind almost from the first listening.
Taking into consideration that the band features members from the highly respectable bands Fragile Vastness and Wastefall, it makes no surprise regarding the quality of the album, admitting their very good job in almost every part of this attempt.
So, waiting future to confirm their potential, enjoy the ART OF SIMPLICITY…
