Elegy Forbidden Fruit Songs Forbidden Fruit Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Incredible Voice!
Ian Parry is one of the best rock vocalists I have heard in a long while. In the same league as Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, and the late Ray Gillen. The musicianship is tight and the songs are top notch. From the Opening track "Icehouse" with it's pounding drums and great riffs to The Finaly of "Forbiden fruit" this CD is hot! "Killing Time and The Great Charade" are also great. Not a bad song on the CD. I will be picking up everything I find with Ian Parry on it. Great Voice!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Nothing Compares To Elegy!!!
Elegy is way underrated and unknown to the progressive genre world.. Fans of progressive metal must pick State Of Mind up. I stumbled upon Ian Parry's vocals from Consortium Project 3 : Terra Incognita. He has a powerful and melodic vocal lines. From there I went on to purchase CP 2 and 1. So I would have the complete set. I was thrilled to own all 3 cds as all 3 are superb progressive metal albums. Then I also did a little bit of historical identification. Ian Parry was from Elegy!!! And I went ahead and purchase 4 albums.. State Of Mind, Principles Of Pain, Manifestation Of Fear and Forbidden Fruit. Elegy is not those kind of Prog Band for anyone to liked the very 1st time they listen to their songs. It is progressive alright with tons of odd times signatures and displacement of rhythm and drum beats. You have to constantly listen again and again so that it shines out. From the first time when you listen to it.. you know these guys are awesome with their instrumentation technique, skills and their song arrangement. You loved it but you just couldn't grasp the structure of the song just yet. It leaves you wanting to listen more and more each time you finished the entire disc. Elegy is a band with sound musicians and musical abilities written all over their songs. I have been listening to all 4 albums tons of times and have yet to grasp every single song because of the odd song structure....It is hard to even play their songs..... My high recommendation is those 4 albums...You need to check thes guys out because you will missed out a whole lot if you don't. Think you know what progressive metal is?? Think again!!! Elegy is another whole level of progressive metal. Challenge yourself and see you could digest ELEGY!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Melpot Metal (Heavy, Speed, Prog)
Elegy has just released an atomic melodic metal album. Unbelievable ! The best Elegy so far ??? Hell yes.
I still have not landed from this incredible melodic metal ride. Ian Parry has fallen on his head or what? All metal styles are visited by the man. You want speed riffs with a killing chorus and a groove rhythm "à la Malmsteen" just listen to Force Majeure, one of the best song of the year. Killing Time speeches itself. IceHouse, the opening song, is simply perfect : after the intro, a duel between keyboard and guitar and here comes some heavy riff (fast rhythm and what a drum !!!).
And they dare to call this as progressive metal. This is melodic metal at its best !!! Behind The Tears (fourth song) is the perfect continuation of Manifestation Of Fear (previous Elegy's record) ... but as been written by Patrick Rondat. Yes Mr. Rondat himself plays guitar on this masterpiece. He has written three excellent songs by the way (if not the best for their "progressive feeling").
Hey metal fans out there, if you like melodic stuff, if you like Dio's voice (Ian Parry always reminds me "little dragon") and you like to listen to different metal styles on the same record (speed, heavy, melodic, prog) THIS one is for you. I was a bit disappointed with Ian Parry's Shadowman, but here comes a buy or die album.

Star One is the latest project from Arjen Anthony Lucassen (the man who almost single-handedly is Aryeon). Lucassen seems to like to assemble groups of musicians to record his works under various band names. Such is the case with this project. The group here has cut loose with their first project, entitled Space Metal. With a title like that, one might expect to hear a more hard-edged version of the space rock sounds of bands like Hawkwind. That is not, however, the case. Instead, Lucassen and his cohorts (Ed Warby, Sir Russel Allen, Damian Wilson, Dan Swano, Floor Jansen, and various guests) make music that is more like a cross between Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Deep Purple. Of course, the neo-symphonic modes for which Lucassen seems to have such ...

| | Kamelot Karma CD (2001)
Forbidden Fruit album
$10.45 
Opening with the track "Regalis Aperture," an instrumental piece that sounds like it could have been lifted from the Chariots of Fire soundtrack, Kamelot's Karma promises to deliver ambitiously orchestral prog-metal from the very start. A scan of the song titles ("Wings of Despair," "The Light I Shine on You," "Temples of Gold") further suggests Kamelot's wholehearted embrace of the dramatic (expect lots of references to "destiny," "mountains," and "immortals"). Fans of symphonic metal groups like Helloween, ...

$7.55
Sonically, Grand Funk's second live album, 1975's CAUGHT IN THE ACT, is a major improvement over the one-dimensional sound of its predecessor, 1970's LIVE ALBUM. The performances throughout CAUGHT IN THE ACT are consistent and energetic, resulting in great versions of such GFR classics as "Footstompin' Music," "Closer to Home," "Shinin' On," and "The Railroad," as well as an album-closing cover of the Rolling ...

Recording information: Systems Two, Brookyln, NY (09/18/2002).
Understand one thing: Despite the retro-sounding handle, CHIPS are anything but an Eighties nostalgia act. Granted, there might be a few traces of no wave in the duo's musical DNA, as their eponymous innova debut would seem to indicate, but the same could be said of surf music, bebop, ...

Though a little rough in the production department, Flotsam & Jetsam's first album, Doomsday for the Deceiver, attempts both short bursts of thrashing intensity ("Desecrator," "Iron Tears") as well as extended, multi-part epics ("Metalshock" and the title track). Bassist ...
