Heavy progressive metal! When I say heavy, I mean it. Unlike a lot of progressive bands who tend to sacrifice heavieness for technique or melody, Antithesis have it all. Sort of a mix of Dream Theatre and Metal Church. The lyrics are intelligent and thought provoking as well. I'm not sure if they have an American label, this copy seems to be from Denmark.

Another fabulous and heavy prog-metal disc from Anthithesis. Disc #2 features improved production, some speed metal and thrash influences and a strong vocal performance. Can't say enough good things about this one, except if you reading this page and you don't have it, you're missing out. Available through www.NightmareRecords.com or from www.ultimatum.net. This disc was also released in Europe by Massacre Records with a different cover and a few bonus tracks, however, the bonus tracks are all from the debut, so besides slightly superior artwork, I'm not really missing out on anything.
