http://www.artofhacking.com/IET/MUSIC/l ... crm160.htm I've recently listened to "The Hero's Dream," a 7-song
tape by Early Warning, a progressive-metal quartet from Atlanta.
Somewhat more straightforward and riff-laden than Queensryche's
standard fare, the songs on the tape are strong and consistent.
It's not surprising the band opened for Dream Theater when they
came to town.
Aptly named vocalist/guitarist Chris Singer and
vocalist/percussionist Dave Re combine on some sharp vocal
harmonies, while Singer and dedicated guitarist Frank Carrillo
weave intricate combinations of acoustic classical and crunchy
electric guitar, and Re and bassist Mark Vignati provide the
complex rhythms we expect in prog-metal. The end result is a
style reminiscent of Queensryche and Iron Maiden, but also of
mainstream metal groups like Metallica.
While all the songs are likely to be of interest to
prog-metal fans, 'Narcissus' stuck most firmly in my mind. Its
orchestration is excellent, with good acoustic/electric interplay
and rhythmic complexity, and the lyrics are compelling. Aside
from being harder than anything Queensryche or Dream Theater has
ever produced, this track would fit well on an album by either.
Early Warning has enough skill and daring to make it big
in prog-metal, once they're noticed. Hopefully someone will
start a prog-metal version of the "ProgFest" festival, so that
they and other up-and-coming bands can be heard. Then we could
buy new albums in years that Queensryche and Dream Theater are
idle! I'd recommend picking up this tape if you have the chance.
I lost the band's address in my recent move, but I'm sure one of
the SiD readers in the Atlanta area will send it in.
