Reviews


review by: MJBrady This Hungarian band has stayed the course since their onset back in 2005 when they debut with Mind Games an otherwise fine selection of songs for a first offering, I recall enjoying many aspects of their brand of progressive metal, mainly the aggressive instrumental displays from a group of talented musicians, it seemed that the band was just a few fine adjustments from being a solid newcomer in the world of progmetal music.

Enter their second release, in 2007 - The Raven's Nest, which showed some gradual improvement, but so much as to allow them consideration as one of the more entertaining or impressive progmetal bands of the day, it seemed perhaps the band had reached it's full potential, and as each year had passed, no signs of continuation, a few years had passed and to my surprise, in 2011, the band comes back with this cd, their 3rd - Without Saving. 

This time around the band has made some personnel changes, adding a new singer - Matyas Haraszti, as well as a new bassist - Sandor Kallai, while the core trio of guitar, drums and keyboard remains unchanged.  This for me was a good idea, as those three musicians were always the highlight of Everwoods' music. What was lacking on the first two cds were quality vocals, and truly good songwriting, the instrumental displays were always pretty good.  Here the new singer is actually bringing the band into a better place, though I might say that the band could use some inventive melody on the vocal lines assist in helping the music be more memorable. That has been the most qualifying ingredient to complete the top level progmetal bands overall sound, yes the instrumental aspects are important, and many obscure bands are doing impressive things with that, but most are missing the mark concerning melody and quality vocals.

I am pleased to say, this cd has seen the band take a huge step in the right direction, the songs are generally a bit shorter, yet have a hook in them, and the singer is far more ear friendly to the previous one.  Nice to hear this band continue to explore their potential, and this release makes me believe that they have  more to offer.
