Teru's Symphonia - Egg the Universe


For years Japanese band they have been regarded as one of the better exponents of symphonic rock. Super super lush, who make very synthy music in the vein of MARILLION and all of those. While TERU'S SYMPHONIA's music portrays some of the bombast that characterizes fellow Japanese bands GERARD and ARSNOVA, it is far more diverse than the music of those bands.

The second ("Egg") is probably the easiest to sink your teeth into, but the fourth ("Fable") may be the most musically sophisticated, moving away from the neo-prog sound and more into the area of bands like The ENID. 

Led by ex-NOVELA guitarist, "The Gate" offers a sumptuous progressive rock, elaborated and sophisticated to the limits, in the vein of OUTER LIMITS, PALE ACUTE MOON & MR SIRIUS. This great album is easily one of the best I've heard from Japan. RECOMMENDED
