A magnum opus that combines a wide range of influences (from classical music, to Manos Hatzidakis&#8217; artistic vision and from 70s Symphonic Prog and 80s futurism to the Progressive Metal of yesterday and today).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>All the above (and even more) influences have been perfectly balanced to highlight a unique musical result, able to be created and performed by this particular band only! Yes, there are lots of great Prog Metal bands around but noone sounds and feels like HORIZON&#8217;S END. And their latest masterpiece is the biggest proof for the above statement. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The band&#8217;s mastermind and keyboardist Sakis Bandis has composed a phenomenal album which is trademarked by the brilliant performances of Kosta Vreto on guitars, Stergios Kourou on drums and Kostas Scandalis on bass. Vasilios Topalides delivers some of his greatest vocals, sealing each and every song on this release.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The album is produced and mixed by Kostas Scandalis and Sakis Bandis, mastering by Kostas Scandalis at Infinity Studios (Thessaloniki, Greece), Artwork and front cover are created by Panagiotis Sifakis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Veterans are back.
