Battle of Egos - Progressive Metal EP
Songs / Tracks Listing 1. Battle Of Egos Intro (03:41) 2. Battle Of Egos Part I (04:53) 3. Battle Of Egos Part II (06:45) 4. Furrow (04:09) 5. My Last Will (06:22) 6. Winter Crescent (02:44) 7. Lost In Dreams (05:43) ..the only thing about "Battle of Egos" that points in the direction of this release being a demo is the sound production, which at times could have used a more professional hand. It's a slight issue though when the quality of the music is as high as it's the case here. Winter Crescent play a rather dark, heavy and occasionally even slightly psychadelic progressive metal style. The band are a "regular" metal constellation with two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer and a singer. No keyboards on this one. The tracks feature complex structures and the band often play with tempo- and time signature changes. There is a good balance between varied heavy riffing and more atmospheric sections. While there are no keyboards in the music, the band instead skillfully add texture to some sections by adding harmony layers of feedback guitars placed low in the mix.
