EYEFEAR The Unseen CD (2008)

Before the scene caught up, EYEFEAR were already doing it. The Unseen from 2008 sits at that intersection of progressive ambition and power metal aggression that very few bands, let alone Australian ones, manage to pull off without losing the plot entirely.

This is a record with teeth. The progressive structures give it depth, but there's no noodling for its own sake. EYEFEAR are Melbourne metal lifers who understand that complexity and punch aren't mutually exclusive. If you've followed the global prog metal underground through the mid-2000s, Cloudscape, Manticora, Illusion Suite, you'll know the kind of commitment to craft this scene demands. The Unseen holds its own in that company and then some.

Full length CD, 2008 release. Australian progressive power metal. An earlier entry in the EYEFEAR catalogue and a strong one, priced accordingly for collectors.

Fans of: Anubis Gate, Vanishing Point, Cloudscape, Manticora, Illusion Suite, Seventh Wonder
