Psychotic Waltz is an incredibly underrated band that should have been huge on the scene.

"A Social Grace" is the debut album of Progressive Metal band Psychotic Waltz, and it is nothing short of a masterpiece for the genre. Buddy Lackey (aka Devon Graves) sings in a style similar to Power Metal vocalists but plays the flute as beautifully as Ian Anderson. The subsequent result is a very dark and brooding album with lyrics to match (dealing mostly with humanity).

My personal favorites here are "Successor", "I Remember", "I of the Storm", and "Nothing." However, all the songs are fantastic in their own ways.

Great band / album if you like bands that are similar to Fates Warning.
