This is words from all Greek metal fans:
“”Horizon’s End is the best Greek progressive/power metal band””. Extreme melodic, lyrical progressive metal with influences from Fates Warning (Perfect Symmetry, Parallels session), Shadow Gallery and Leviathan (USA) with more symphonic touches from Flute, Cello, Violin, Clarinet. THIS IS THE MUST BUY FOR ALL PROGRESSIVE METAL FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Greece is not only famous for its ouzo, the Acropolis or its national soccer team, no, it is also the land of the self-willed Metal bands. Most of the time you have the impression that the nineties didn’t exist in this country. This is not the case with Horizon’s END, for their idols are definitely called DREAM THEATER and several proggies from the 70ies. Besides Italy’s ARKHE I have not found a better band from this genre yet. Meanwhile I have to count our Greek friends among them as well.
What the guys deliver here really has substance, class and artfulness. Luckily the band doesn’t quite approach its music in a too sterile and technical way, for with all the love for details and the pleasure to experiment you always feel that they pay attention to the melody. Of course this is no easy listening stuff and friends of daring instrumental rides are satisfied, but I am positively surprised. The Metal factor is quite minimal, such that the pure Prog Rocker is addressed as well. Yet it is heavy, but all the Prog bands such as IQ, Spock’s BEARD or SATELLITE are as well nowadays.
It must be expected that all manners of non-metallic instruments are used here. Fans of the above-mentioned bands must give this album a listen. It kills!

2nd review:
I’m not the great fan of Porg Metal, but this CD is one of my perfect.Greatly influenced by Dream Theater from the one hand(or even prog-power),it is also influenced by Greek Folk Music.””Soul”” is nice neo-prog stuff, IMHO, while “”Sandfalls”” contains all the Sadness of the world,I think…much darker than Lacrimosa, Opeth or some other Gothic-related bands.””Sacred Lover”” is also goth-related song…while “”Under the Face of Regret”” is great example of simplicity from the band.Excellent for the Radio,really!!! But mt favourite one is opening epic “”Dividing Vanity””…aah..awesome.Kinda “”Metropolis”” from these Greek Professionals!!!The band sounds marvellous,they DO know how to make you be involved by their music. Highly recommended for all Prog-metal fans.
