First review at FORGOTTEN SCROLL webzine

Power of Omens from San Antonio, Texas, USA was one of those bands that managed to develop a trademark sound of their own, writing a golden page in the great book of progressive metal, thanks to their two classic albums: their debut Eyes of the Oracle (1998) and their sophomore full-length Rooms of Anguish (2003), released just two years before the band’s split.

Since the early days of their formation back in 1994, Power Of Omens have started to build their own artistic vision that was widely transformed into their music: The result of this evolutionary processing was captured into the band’s two demo tapes that were released back in 1996 and 1997. Both demo releases showcased a band walking the edgy lines of progression through early versions of trademark compositions that finally found their way mainly into the band’s classic debut. In fact, a careful listener would discover the deep connections that shaped a complete soundscape that lasted until the band’s final days: The common titles and the demo exclusives, everything was put into the big Power of Omens puzzle for a big purpose. And by listening to those early demo recordings someone would realize that this band has formed a wide frame of progressive metal greatness.

Arkeyn Steel Records reissues both Power of Omens demos on a compilation CD, making this out-of-print material available again. All the audio material has been remastered from scratch by Kostas Scandalis at Infinity Studios, Thessaloniki, Greece, ensuring the best possible audio experience. The booklet includes never-before-seen photos of the era plus lyrics. New artwork is featured based on the cover of the debut demo from 1996.

We can surely put this reissue on the “dreams come true” list as everyone on Arkeyn Steel Records is a big Power of Omens fan. We wanted to officially reissue those demos since the early days of the label considering them as pure 90s prog metal gems.

One thing is sure: The music of Power of Omens is nothing less than a magnificent dream and through this reissue you got the chance to enter its early phase. Are you ready for this experience?
