Brrrr!This is a hell of an album and it proves wow it's possible to offer a debut album at such a high standard level!Sometimes I have that kind of revelation,musically speaking,that here are some bands with a huge technical and creative potential-and their debut has the impact of a bomb!That's the situation regarding what DARKWATER made on this superbe debut album!Great prog metal album with all the ingredients for this genre-crunchy guitar parts-very good vocals-sometimes aggressive -sometimes calm and reflective -great drumming parts-wonderful and powerful keyboard interventions too-all in very modern and attractive way-Long compositions,plenty of space for the instrumental interventions for the very talented musicians in the band.It's definitely something very impressive!It's rare that kind of an album of more then 1 hour of music without any weak song or moments of boredom!CALLING THE EARTH TO WITNESS is the album that breaks a little the standards of prog metal and proves that this type of music is without any limits-in terms of creativity and freedom of musical expression!The production could have been a little better -it misses something to make the sound more powerful-but it's still good!I am sure the new album which will be released in 2010 will be a new step forward to this so talented and promissing new hope in the prog metal area!Congratulations for a stunning debut album!4.5 STARS!!!
