I took a chance on a cd called, "Amber" by Dawn of Dreams. I have always been a fan of trying new music. It's like the thrill of exploring uncharted lands, but I don't have to actually go anywhere. Yet, this cd definitely took me places.
I remember the first time that I heard "Wildhoney" by Tiamat. That was back in 1994, and since then, I have bought every cd they have recorded. This cd is much like that one. Not only the aspects of the sound and style are similar, but the passion, haunting melodies, and the instrumental compositions ring true as well. If anyone is a fan of Tiamat, I would dare them not to give this cd a chance. Layered with such beauty of lyrics and versatility of sound, I have been asimilated into a Dawn of Dreams fanatic.

I recently discovered Dawn of Dreams. Upon first listening to the opening track "Like a Sundrop in the Rain" I was amazed. It manages to be haunting and melodically beautiful in it's sadness at the same time.
Think of November's Doom meets Opeth. All of the tracks are great. The vocals go from clean rasping vocals to gutteral growls, all the while maintaining an original sound that is unparralleled in today's wide spectrum of metal.
If you like intelligent, beautifully orchestrated music, you cannot afford to pass this one up.
