THIRD EYE – Vengeance Fulfilled

Danish Prog Metal band Third Eye return from a 13 year break since their last release, with a powerful new album titled Vengeance Fulfilled on No Dust Records. Since 2010’s Recipe For Disaster, the band has made several lineup changes, namely maestro Tiago Masseti stepping in replacing Per Johansson on the vocals.

About the Album

Vengeance Fulfilled comes in at just over 61 minutes on CD, and will also be coming out on a 2 disk vinyl set this summer. The album contains 10 songs of super tight, very heavy Prog Metal with some occasional growls to accent the superb voice of Tiago Masseti. As you’d expect with any decent Prog Metal band, the players are all quite excellent, from the fantastic rhythm section of Martin Damgaard on drums and Andreas Schumannon the bass, to the slick guitar work of Michael Bodin (who also does great keyboards) and Jonas Hansen. Thanks to Nicklas Sonne at Sonne Studios, the record has a great mix that makes listening a true pleasure.

Final Notes

The bottom line is that Third Eye are back with a really strong album that deserves a listen, and fans of Beyond Twilight, ARK, Anubis Gate and Symphony X will all be loving it. As a long time Prog Metal Fan (let alone Prog Rock fan going way back), this reviewer found more than enough gems on Vengeance Fulfilled to make it worth adding to the collection.
