hell yeah, Pyramaze is kickass.

23:05 - EMols86
Enjoyed Pyramaze - Melancholy Beast for sure, except for the horrible song called "Until We Fade Away", which reminds me why I don't like (most) power metal.

23:05 - Cynic Metalhead
Red Fang banner on MS should be like this. [link]

Solefald (their debut). Since I'm now checking out Pyramaze (as I said, first time I listen to power metal in years) I'll check your link (Chinese band) after that. :-) Can't believe I actually like Pyramaze...

22:45 - MechanisT
The new Blood Red Throne is killer material.

22:45 - Dark†SymphonY
What band you talking about Emols?

22:42 - EMols86
Ah that sucks. I listened to it and while I didn't like every aspect of it (some vocals annoyed me, especially at the end) overall I found it quite good.

Guest review by

Rating:
9.4

Theme-wise, Holographic Universe is a continuation of Scar Symmetry's exploration of 'time and space' and which also turns out to be vocal extraordinaire, Christian Älvestam's swansong with the band.

At face value the album sleeve compliments the title of the album well, the music and lyrics are very well integrated within the entire concept of the album and in turn beautifully incorporated within the artwork.
