Pyramaze
Pyramaze is a Danish/American band, originally formed by a trio
of Danes and later enlisting two Americans to complete the
initial lineup
(later, a fourth Dane signed on), and have
three albums to their name.
The band is solidly in the progressive/melodic power metal realm,
delivering punchy, melodic anthems laced with prog touches.
Vocalist Lance King (no longer here, though he sang on their first two
releases)
has served time with a number of standout bands,
and his Geoff Tate-inspired vocals surely lend a professional air
to the band, but he is not the only star, as the musicianship
is top-notch throughout.
The arrangements are busy but not cluttered, with plenty of
interplay between the keyboards and the guitars, with the
able rhythm section keeping pace.
In the space of a few years they've made major strides
within the prog/power metal genre, and are an easy
recommendation to fans of that style.
The band has featured three noted vocalists in their career,
with King, onetime
Iced Earth
frontman Matt Barlow, and former
Tad Morose
(and current
Bloodbound)
singer Urban Breed also here for a time.
