PAN.THY.MONIUM - Dawn Of Dreams LP (Transparent Yellow/Green Vinyl)

The entire longplay is - professionally defining - the higher stage of the avant-garde. The Swedes mix here between prog, death, doom and non-metal influences. Just listen to the epic opening track of "Dawn Of Dreams" (untitled, like all of them). Already at the beginning, we get nearly 22 minutes of incredibly unconventional music. Not only that, the quintet, above the classical set of instruments (guitar/bass/drums), decided to use instruments with metal that are not commonly related (including the mentioned saxophone, but also violin and keyboards). And it's not a matter of chance or being too avant-garde, with Pan.Thy.Monium such a combination perfectly sticks together and gives the music an incredible variety (and paradoxically, non-metal influences attract attention the most!).
