This band is not your typical HEAVY metal groupofThe 1970s. They usedTo be called "intellectual metal"band dueTo highly elaborated lyrical imagesof horror and sci-fi, Sound and production design. The Third album "Secret Treaties" brought them close To The progressive rock audience, because it contains excellent songs, wonderful melodic solo partsof guitars and keyboards, confident performance and progressive arrangements. Highlights include "Dominance and Submission", "Flaming Telepaths" and "Astronomy", while semi-hit "Career of Evil " was penned by punk diva Patti Smith. Even The weakest and rather mediocre hard rocking' track "ME262" makes A meaningful break betweenTheTwo sidesofThe album, which flows almost uninterruptedFrom startTo finish. Then, You are prompted To start it all over again. Is there A better way To recommend this excellent work? And YES , The listenersof "progressive metal" is very much advisedTo listTo this album - they might be witnessingThe very "proto"of their beloved genre! (Seyo/progarchives.com)
