Braindance

Braindance was once described by someone (possibly themselves) as "cinematic-neuromantic progressive new age gothic metal fusion", quite a lofty description. More recently they have promoted themselves as "progressive darkwave", a term which, after one listen to their latest album Redemption, fits surprisingly well. Braindance is a progressive band, but they don't sound a lot like other progressive bands, and there is a darkness to their style that is quite appealing. Sabastian Elliot's baritone vocals are the main selling point, with his unique and forceful style, but Vora Vor's impressive guitar work also deserves accolades (the band is now officially a duo, though session players, including past members, helped on the recording). This band is truly walking their own path, as they really don't sound like anyone else at all. Excellent stuff.
