Only a few seconds underway and I get the feeling that this is just another one in a seemingly endless flow of average progressive metal releases of a band that likes to compare itself with the masters of prog Dream Theater.

Boy, Silent Voices proved me wrong, big time. This is one of the first releases I get to review where a band actually reaches high, so high that they can escape from the dooming shadow of Dream Theater.
Complex, very interesting, yet catchy compositions - truly reflecting the album title - characterized by powerful guitar play, solid drums and excellently melted together by high quality synthesizers.

“Building Up The Apathy” is composed with clockwork precision, every note is right on time, not a single note is superfluous (not taking into account the slightly weaker "Blood Of Eden").

Great intro’s, excellent brakes, powerful solo’s and most important: a real entity. These lads can be measured with the big boys now!
