K so i know i knew about them for a long time, but never actually heard anything from them, yeah what a shame. For a long time after the split up, you couldnt even get theyre albums anymore, thanks to Metalblade for re-releasing them. I finally got A Social Grace and Into The EverFlow, first thing that comes to mind was early Fates Warning, but of course that doesnt do them much justice, theyre's not one band since them that sounds like PW, never have and probably never will.
Psychedelic mixed in with some insane riffs, amazingly interesting, course Buddy Lackey aka Devon Graves with Dead Soul Tribe, that guy is amazing on these albums, i can really see now what was all the rave about. Lyrics very dark but i can find some very powerful poetry in the songwriting, genius might be a word to describe theyre music, looking at it, and in the years they were released, why in the hell didnt this band get the credit they deserve, what the hell happened, would they ever? This was progressive metal at its most creative and intellectual stage. No doubt about that.
Just thoughts on this band that comes to mind, i took me a while to appreciate the music, but it was worthwhile. I was wondering what you guys think about them?
I've heard their stuff, and I'd take Jon Arch era Fates Warning over them any day. They're still pretty good though, at least on the thrashier albums.
