Angleterre  -  néo progressif symphonique -  **** 

 


Voici un des plus importants groupes de la renaissance
progressive des 80's, qui s'inspire des maîtres des Seventies,
après  
Marillion  et aux côtés de  Arena  ,  Pendragon  ou  I Q ,
Pallas  nous propose du néo-progressif énergique et pompeux,
axé sur des mélodies accrocheuses, richesse de thèmes,
son structuré et plein, section rythmique bien charpentée,
beaux élans symphoniques (cordes, chœurs ), sa musique s'avère être
un mélange réussi de rythmes et riffs hard, d'arrangements progressifs
et de parties chantées expressives et émotionnelles,
la voix singulière d'
Alan Reed  apporte un plus indéniable.
Un groupe Majeur !!!!
