I don't know if you know this band, but i heard the promo of their second album, and it is awesome. I think Evergrey fans are gonna like this band, cause i sense some similarities. Their first one, "Purification" was a little bit dull for me, but not this one. They really progressed a lot between the albums. Check out the song "sanctified" from their web site, and write your ideas please...
I like Anubis Gate, they actually took over our spot on Prog Power in the Netherlands since we had to cancel that show. I'm glad they got a good band to replace us.
They made a good impression on the Progpower festival, but I still think they need more time to grow.
