"Gaudi's Legacy" is the third album from
Pyramid, one of the most important Spanish metal bands at the moment. Based in
Barcelona they have dedicated this album to a prominent ex-citizen of their
home towm namely Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926) who was an architect and the
innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement. Although I am not a big
fan of this style I must admit that he was extremely talented and designed
some very important buildings. The members of Pyramid are also talented in
their own art form of choice namely progressive metal. When listening to this
album you can find similarities with great bands of the genre like Dream
Theater, Symphony X and Liquid Tension Experiment but there are also some
guitar solo work that should appeal to fans of modern day guitar heroes like
Vai and Satriani. You can find plenty of instrumental sections but the vocals
done by Javier Cespedes are good and solid even if they sometimes are a little
annoying as well thanks to his high-pitch screams. Overall this is still a
very good progressive metal album from a mature and talented band that all of
you prog worshippers out there should remember from now on if you don't know
about them already. Perhaps they could have shortened it by fifteen minutes or
so but after all this is progressive. Exceptionally ugly album cover but
having seen their previous releases I can't say it was a surprise. By the
way, check out the jazzy intro of "Sister
Sona".
