Elegy made their first real appearance on the metal scene as
early as 1986 when they unleashed their demo recording "Matricide". Their
real break-through came in the early 90's when they released their debut
album "Labyrinth Of Dreams" through Shark Records. Many years have passed
since then but the Dutch band has only grown stronger and their latest
offering "Principles Of Pain" is perhaps their heaviest album so far. In
their early days they were more of a pop metal band to many metal fans but
they have now become a full-fledged progressive metal band where each and
every member masters his instrument with remarkable skill. Catchy choruses and
pounding rhythms will make power metal fans happy while intricate bass lines
and neo-classical riffing will certainly also appeal to fans of music in the
progressive vein. On top of this we are given the chance to once again
experience the wonderful vocals from Ian Parry who is without a doubt one of
the finest singers in the world of progressive / power metal. The keyboard
arrangements on "Principles Of Pain" are also worth some praise. These guys
are all great musicians and this is a very good album indeed that should
please almost every fan of the genre. Stand-out tracks: "Walking Nightmare",
"Pilgrims Parade", "Principles Of Pain".
