Description
Swedish group Ended, have created their own unique beast by merging modern rock and metal influences with classic rock elements and guitar brilliance. Their forthcoming album Five Eyes, showcases a heavier and more riff oriented side of the band, where melody and lyrics continue to be of great importance. New vocalist Micky Bergqvist has brought the band additional energy, fronting the Swedish five piece with fierce power and great charisma. The album contains 10 hard and heavy tracks full of fire and passion that shows the tremendous progression in the band without compromising their trademark sound.
Ended have recently released the first official video (see below) from Five Eyes with the track Proteus. A high intensity number and a fine introduction to the forthcoming release.

Questi sono gli ENDED, aggressività tipica del metal unita ad armonie e melodie del classico rock progressive. Il disco funziona, perchè la band oltre ad avere una grande potenza tecnica è riuscita a proporre nuove ricerche stilistiche che vanno oltre alle armonie classicheggianti del rock.

Desde Suecia, nos llega el segundo trabajo de ENDED, editado a través de Sliptrick Records, “Five Eyes”. Y vienen con novedades en la formación, ya que presentan a Micky Bergqvist como nuevo vocalista, el cual se une a los ya conocidos Lars Granat y Peter Janflod en las guitarras, Björn Granat al bajo y David Källberg en la percusión. Esto ha influido en su música, aunque su base sigue siendo el rock con toques progresivos, la voz y el carácter de su anterior cantante, que no es otro que su guitarra Lars, le daban un toque más alternativo en el aspecto vocal, con toques a ALICE IN CHAINS, lo que ahora se ha perdido y giran más en torno a DREAM THEATER, con un toque más heavy y hard rockero, aunque Lars se puede centrar mucho más en su guitarra y coros …read more
