Mr. Hubi -for those who do not recall him- has been the singer of Dreamscape. After he left Dreamscape he chose the hard road of personal creation and recently he released his 3rd personal work. In "Kailash" there are some very talented musicians that give breathtaking performances. What characterizes Hubi is that his voice is softer than what we are used to listening to in music something that it’s not bad, except when the music is Brutal Black Death. But when the music is Melodic Progressive Metal, things seem to roll quite well. In "Kailash", apart from the wondrous riffs and solos, and the continuous alternations in tempo, there are some great melodic lines and refrains that for one thing tempt you to sing with them. The versification is referred to the myths of the Orient. There are also musical references from that part of the word (Tibet, India etc.) making it even more interesting. I assume that if the production was more dynamic and the composing was more concentrated on riffs we would be having a much more impressive result.

Bottom Line: An interesting proposal in the field of Progressive Metal. Something tells me that we have even greater things to wait for in the future.
