Rating:
9.3
The Melodic Progressive band known as Winds has already left its thumb prints all over the Metal world with their two previous opuses, especially 2004's The Imaginary Direction of Time. Now, the Norwegian masters are aiming even higher with their latest effort Prominence and Demise.

The band retained the winning combo with mastermind Andy Winter , Carl August Tidemann , Lars Eric Si and Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Von Blomberg . Enhancing this dream-team, Winds had some help from some famous guest singers on this album, among who Dan Swanö , Lars Are "Lazare" Nedland and Agnete Kirkevaag . Last but not least, musicians from the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra joined their instruments to the mix.
