Unreal by Spheric Universe Experience
“Taking an infectious vocal melody and building layers of guitars, keyboards, and time changes around it, then covering the whole thing in a shiny production sheen, Spheric Universe Experience (SUE) crafts an instant prog-metal landmark.” - Metal-Rules.com
Unreal is the third album from French progressive metal titans Spheric Universe Experience. Once again these five virtuoso musicians present a finely crafted collection of songs that walk the fine line between technicality and melodic sensibility. This is a challenging balancing act but SUE makes it look easy, much like the bands they are most often compared to – Dream Theater, Symphony X and Pain Of Salvation.
October 2008 saw the band perform at the ninth edition of ProgPower USA in Atlanta. The mesmerized audience witnessed a masterful performance that garnered them a host of new fans. The band returned to France and immediately went into the studio to record Unreal. The new album was recorded and mixed at Kallaghan Studios and mastered in New York by Kim Rosen at West West Side Music.
