Forward Shapes is a brilliant Prog Act,
from the internet, yes, from the internet. Their album is stellar and
shows off some brilliant music. With a few rising stars (most notably
Marco Minneman) this band could very well be the next big thing. The
guitar work on this record is stellar with some tasty performances
that put out some great Dream Theater type riffs. The solos are also
excellent and show the level of genius of Andrei the guitarist. The
bass work is pretty solid and it really pushes the music forward on
songs like Never Forget. The drums are brilliant, Marco Minneman is
one of my favorite drummers in the world and it is a joy to get to
hear him on this record. He proves his genius yet again and has made
me fall even more deeply in love with his work. The keyboard work is
also pretty good and gets a lot of wonderful Haken styled melodies
into the music. Finally we have the vocals, which are excellent. The
singer of this group has a beautiful voice that makes her, in my
mind, a female James Labrie. So, if you're looking for some killer
prog, come check out this band.
