Killing songs: Visions (sounds like an Iced Earth song)
Progressive power metal is the genre to describe Paralysis'
music. Paralysis was formed in the early 90's. This band is
influenced by bands like Queensryche or Dream Theater. Overall
their music is quiet heavy, with progressive elements added
to their powerful metal riffs. Sometimes too technical for
my taste, sometimes excellent, Architecture Of the Imagination
isn't really linear in terms of quality.
The title name speeches from itself. This music is really
an architecture, a complex one. I am not sure the listener
can absorb easily all those breaks. The combination of power
metal and progressive elements is not always successful. However,
the guitar player is really good, doing a very good work considering
both the riffs and the solos. As for the singer is not bad
at all. It makes a worthy buy for progressive hearted people
out there, since most of the songs are good. Check them out.
