Post Description

Studio Album, released in 2007, United States.

Claiming influences like RUSH, GENESIS and OZRIC TENTACLES, Pittsburgh,PA band PERSEPHONE"S DREAM (named after a Greek myth) was formed initially in 1993 by guitarist Rowen POOLE and bassist Christ SIEGEL. The duo drafted an intern named Judilynn NEIDERCORN to sing vocals and recorded the band's first album, 'Evening Mirage', in Rowan's dining room. Although the album was not released until 1997, it gained some radio play and a cut off the record was used on a U.S. soap opera.

Interesting release from this long-lasting US band on their fourth release since their debut in 1997.
Coming across as a much mellower and dreamier version of Ayreon, and with great musical similarities to label-mates Project Creation, this band has the moods and atmospheres that will make them an interesting band for many.
They have some rather good songs as well, with a nice and good flow between ambient sounding, mellow and epic-sounding musical moods.
Main drawback on this release is the 5-part epic Temple in Time - where most of the parts unfortunately stand out as rather weak tracks compared to what is offered on the rest of the album.
