The Evenfall - The Waiting Room (Argentine prog metal)

[ManipulatorGeneral404]

These folks from Argentina are pretty much totally unknown. But this album sitting midway between Wolverine, Pain of Salvation, Angra, Dream Theater, and 70's Genesis was the first prog album released this year that truly impressed me. The musicians are top caliber, the songwriting is rather unpredictable and at times rather raw but very creative, the lyrics are well thought out if obscure, and hey...there's Argentine folk music thrown in too! I could imagine PPUSA folks getting into this album, especially those who liked Need's concert.

Oh, yeah. It's also free.
