boulevard of broken dreams

ATRIA is a new French discovery. This young group proposes a very mature neo Progressive music. Vocals in English are very well done, guitar is splendid, bursting into amazing soli and keyboards excel in building cast spelling melodies. ATRIA found a subtle balance between simplicity and complexity, between efficiency and emotion. To be classified between IQ and ARRAKEEN with anyway a very personnal touch. The second album "Hide" confirms this young band's quality, with improved vocals and a more heavy musical orientation in the vein of DREAM THEATER.
