AFFECTOR is a progressive rock/metal band founded by German guitar player Daniel Fries and Dutch drummer Collin Leijenaar (Neal Morse/Dilemma). Bass player Mike LePond (Symphony X) and vocalist Ted Leonard (Spock's Beard/Enchant/Thought Chamber) - both from the States joined them when they started working on the debute CD Harmagedon. On this CD they are joined by four special guests on keyboards: Alex Argento, Neal Morse (Transatlantic/Flying Colors), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Derek Sherinian (PlanetX/Black Country communion). Also featured on the album is the Polish orchestra Sinfonietta Consonus.

"Harmagedon" features heavy riffs and lightning fast solos, but also softer and more fragile moments with soulful vocal harmonies, coming across like an open marriage between progressive rock/metal and orchestral minimalism.

For fans of Dream Theater, A.C.T., Symphony X, Darkwater, Queen or Rush.

Very enjoyable music indeed! The instrumental passages are incredible with some of the very best keyboard playing that I have heard. Result: I just purchased Harmagedon.
