DANTE
“November Red”
(Massacre)
My knowledge of German progressive metal isn’t that big. In honest truth I have a hard time thinking of any bands that are both German and progressive. For that to happen I have to dig deep in my collection/memory to find them. I know though that they exist. Just gotta find them. When you deal with prog metal you cannot not mention Dream Theater but I get a feeling that this is much closer in spirit to Fates Warning than it is to Dream Theater. Although it is a mind blowing as any other prog metal album is. You gotta be prepared to be bombarded with images when you listen to this kind of metal. It’s not for your easy listening pleasure. What’s great about this album is that there are melodies that you can hang your memories on so that it doesn’t become one long unmemorable song. Anders Ekdahl
