Oh God this is amazing prog! I am buying this the first chance I get. I love this singer. His work in Beyond Twilight is phenomenal, and this sounds just as good. How have I never given these guys a chance?

Which one? Carpenter or that guy from Ride The Sky? I've never heard this band before but if one of those singers is involved I might give it a try because both of them did a great job in Beyond Twilight.

Neither, Jacob Hansen from the newest one.

I'm confused. Either BT have a new album I haven't heard about or you are talking about For the Love of Art and the Making in which case is the guy from Ride The Sky singing. I checked the review here and it says Bjorn Jansson is the lead singer for the last BT album. Like I said he also sang for Uli Kusch's now defunct band Ride The Sky. I didn't even know Jacob Hansen could sing.

I'm going by what Metal-archives says and metal-archives says Jacob Hansen sang on For the Love of Art and the Making.

Edit - He must be a back up vocalist, becasue he is listed on every album as a vocalist (except the first album with Jorn).

That makes sense. I listened to the song Lost In Myself and I don't recognize Jacob's voice in any BT album so he must be a back up singer. That song rocked btw so I'll be definitely checking this album out.

Just to confirm my original post... This is amazing power/prog! I haven't heard anything this good since the latest Circus Maximus. I finally got around to purchasing this and it is definitely in my top 5 for 2009. Fans of Beyond Twilight, Vanden Plas, and Circus Maximus check this out.

Didn't Hansen sing in Invocator?

Ness · **Posted:** Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:51 pm

Yeah, it looks like it.

Oh ok I was going to say the guy from A perfect forever (Henrik) sounds nothing like the guy from Invocator.

So much better than Andromeda Unchained. Now I want these guys to release another album like The Detached...so good!
Tell me Zadok, how are their first two albums?

Not heard them! Plan to change that eventually, though.

I think this album is clearly my favorite prog album ever. And I've listened to 'Pyramids' more than any other metal track with clean vocals.

Still not sure why everyone loves this album so much. I gave it a few listens back when it came out and thought it was good, but not really that amazing.

Definitely not alone, Paul.

Good songs, good songs and...Good songs!
What more do you need?

Milan · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2010 12:08 pm

This is indeed one of the best prog albums I have heard in the past couple of years. I didn't expect them to top Andromeda Unchained but they did.

This is a really good album. You guys that like this should really check out Pagan's Mind if you haven't already. If I hadn't known who I was listening to when I put on this album I would have thought for sure it was them.

I know one album from Pagan's Mind (Celestial Entrance) and it didn't do much for me.
