Day Six
from Holland has what it takes to make an impact; excellent musicianship, an
identity, a great vocalist, well constructed and executed songs, a well balanced
production and an interesting concept about an extraterrestrial spaceship found
in Lake Vostok, Antarctica.
And I am
sure that they will raise a few eyebrows among progressive metal fans, because
even though their influences are quite clear to most, in this case bands like
Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation and Pink Floyd play a prominent role, they have
managed to create an album that sounds special, and "The Grand Design" is a very
solid building block for them and one of the better debut albums in this genre
this year.
Good one.
