Seems hard to believe this was released in 2003, almost ten years ago now. Still sounds fresh and vibrant and seriously kicks the ass of so many other prog metal bands! This is Silent Edge from Holland, with their (so far) one and only album, the unutterably brilliant and totally underappreciated "The eyes of the shadow".
Just listen to this! This is the explosive "Savage symphony"
or this, the epic "For ancient times".
But they can tone it right down too, for a tender ballad, like "The curse I hold within".
