Found this band via a review ay OpenUpAndSay.com, and I find their music pretty good. I've been into the Melodic rock/metal scene for a short time, and am always looking for a band with a good solid, and strong melody within their songs that not only complements, but also enhances the standard rock instruments via the melodic additions. Silvio Massard, the Vocalist, also has a really good and strong baritone voice that just keeps on adding to the music contained within..

I look forward to seeing what else this Band will produce as time goes on...

2000's Tangled in Dream is the second album from Australian melodic progressive metal band Vanishing Point, who despite a string of fantastic releases still manage to be the best progressive metal band no one seems to have heard. With their precision musicianship, powerful vocals and captivating melodies, Vanishing Point should be on the radar of everyone who follows bands like Dream Theater, Vanden Plas and Circus Maximus.

While the band's debut album In Thought was solid enough, Vanishing Point really took their sound to a new level on Tangled in Dream. You can tell as soon as the melodic hooks of opening song "Surreal" kick in that you're in for something special. That was my first exposure to the band. I knew halfway through the song I was going to love the album and once I heard the whole thing I knew it was going to be an all-time favorite. A key element to Vanishing Point's sound are the warm, midrange vocals of Silvio Massaro, which are similar to Dan Swano's Nightingale work, and really pull the listener into each song. Overall there's just enough technicality to keep progressive metal fans happy, but the focus is clearly on the melodic elements, which is what really make amazing songs like "Two Minds One Soul" and "Bring On the Rain" resonate. The hidden track at the end of the album, a cover of Pink Floyd's "On the Turning Away," is another highlight.

If you like your progressive metal to be soaring, melodic and moving, then Vanishing Point is definitely the band for you. The band has later albums that are probably more polished and well-executed than this one, but I can tell you from experience that Tangled in Dream makes an amazing first impression.

3.0 out of 5 stars Australian Melodic Metal..... between 3 and 4 stars., June 23, 2006

Australia doesn't produce much quality metal normally, usually only numbskull hard rock. But there are some acts like Dungeon, Black Majesty and Vanishing Point that have bucked the trend a touch over the years.

VP play melodic metal. Similar outfits might include Supreme Majesty, Statovarius in heavy mode or a number of other Euro metal bands.

Musically competent musicianship, nothing spectacular but with good use of hight and low end sound, creating a full sound to back Silvio Massaros' rich, though not overly powerful pipes. He is a quality singer but he's not Tobias Sammet in terms of ability to wail nor is he Timo Kotipelto in terms of range.

Songs open out before the listener nicely, great melodies that roll along are the name of the game here. They need something extra to take them to the next level yet this is still a worthy band. Certainly something to check out for lovers of melodic metal. And you know who you are......
