Lion Music are always on the lookout for new talent, especially in the field of
progressive metal. With Hungary's Dreyelands, and their debut Rooms of
Revelation, they've discovered some impressive and promising talent. Traversing
between the sounds of Dream Theater and Symphony X, Dreyelands works with
ambitious and grand compositions blending near AOR accessibility in melody and
vocal arrangements with the strength of, sometimes heavier, power metal.
Throughout, Rooms of Revelation is blessed with amazing lead vocals and varied
and soaring guitar solos. Additionally, as within Way to You and Blossoms of
Decay, Dreyelands weaves acoustic guitar and piano for a mysterious, melancholy
effect.
All this fits the concept behind Rooms of Revelation: the story of a
schizophrenic mind of man wondering why all his lovers are lost to death. Using
the metaphor of the man exploring the man rooms of a house, our subject finds
that it his own sinister second nature betraying, not only his lovers, but
himself. He determines the remedy to this menacing danger, played out in the
final song Leaving Grace, is to end this wicked mind by ending his own life. A
challenging concept, yet through the course of the impressive musical scores and
excellent musicianship, Dreyelands keeps you entertained and intrigued. The
field of progressive metal is filled with many bands, from average to epic, and
on Rooms of Revelation Dreyelands enters the fray with a strong performance,
equal to their forbears and peers. Quite recommended!
