From the band that has 'invented' progressive metal, a precious album, powerful, brutal and incredibly melodic at the same time, 'Awaken The Guardian'. The Jim Matheos guitar is fantastic and the John Arch vocals is incredible. The highlights are all the songs, particulary 'Valley Of The Dolls' and 'Prelude To Ruin'. Highly recommanded to all progressive metal fans.
