Mind Over Body

Superb second album from this Brazilian progressive metal band will certainly be a contender of disc of the year. This near 80 minute packed disc is a loose collection of songs with an existential/zen mind state slant. The direction of the band is a further refinement of their debut - an amalgam of Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation and even Marillion - but with enough of it's own personality that it will easily escape any clone tag. The disc packaging is also very impressive. It features a full color 24 page book, a 28 page comic book, enclosed in a digipak and slipcase. *Highest recommendation*
