Secret Sphere - Portrait of a Dying Heart (2012)

This band absolutely floored me. Without exaggerating, I can say that this is one of the best power or prog albums I've ever heard. It mixes in the best elements of Dream Theater, Symphony X and Kamelot into a beautiful and powerful melange. The vocals are stellar. The riffs are phenomenal. The choruses are all very catchy. There's not a single moment of filler on the whole album. What more do you need? If you love power-prog, do yourself a huge favor and listen to this album right now.
9.5/10
