Mark of the Triangle--RealAudio

Power/prog metal from Sweden, Evergrey's music is a little darker around the edges than some in the genre. The band toils heavily in the Sanvoisen arena of metal. There are also hints of Stratovarius and early Kamelot, and some "expected" prog tendencies show up in the forms of time breaks, keyboards, and some intermittent piano appearances (ala Dream Theater or Threshold). A concept album, thematically based around an alien abduction.
"Rulers of the Mind" and "Mark of the Triangle" are both strong cuts, and "Misled" gets heavy midway through. "The Encounter" has a good pick-up, and both "The Masterplan" and "Watching the Skies" show promise.
