Sylvan - Symphonic Progressive Rock from Germany

[Randall Flagg]

While I was searching videos from Marillion in Youtube, I stumbled upon this band. Here I put some info, if anyone is interested:

Sylvan is a German neo prog band with an emphasis on the vocals and a powerful sound driven by keys and guitar. This is prog that seems comfortable in both the neo and metal genres. With their debut album "Deliverance", the German band from Hamburg open the door to this hidden world for all of us. The music takes you onto a journey full of miracles, dreams, love, passion and fortune. The dominant style of Sylvan is a mix of Symphonic Progressive Rock, neo Progressive and Classical Rock including touchs of the Progressive Metal, blended together in a new and interesting way, decorated with lot of intricate keyboards and guitars sounds and grandiose musical passages in all songs. Frequently compared to group like Marillion or IQ, Sylvan successfully adds a new facet to Nineties neo Progressive.

-Line up:
Marco Glühmann / vocals
Matthias Harder / drums
Sebastian Harnack / bass
Jan Petersen / guitars
Volker Söhl / keyboards

I downloaded their Posthumous Silence a while back to check out. Found it quite boring.
