SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE - SUSPENDED ANIMATION DREAMS (2005)

genre : avant-garde/progressive death/doom
similar bands : Opeth, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Leprous
origin : USA
strong spot : eclectic style, songwriting
weak spot : -

This is an exceptional album. It combines a variety of genres, from rock opera to death metal, and it is especially rich in orchestrations and ideas. Violins, saxophones, flutes, folk instruments, synths, pianos fit perfectly with the progressive rock/metal background and the main reason for this is simply the band's clever songwriting. There are many bands that try to be different but few of them can write a ''good song''. The purpose of music is this damn ''good song'', isnt it?
