I might as well agree with Semismart´s review: Everon indeed sounds like
no other. Their music is
familiar, yet you can´t really pigeonhole it. There are some obvious
influences here and there (like
Rush and Marillion, to name just two). Although labeled as neo prog in
PA, I´ve always heard other
sites and magazines to call them prog metal. To me they both missed the
point. Maybe art rock or
heavy prog would be closer to what they really are. Anyway, you have to
hear them to understand.
Everon is Everon.

Fantasma (´ghost´ in portuguese) was the first album
I ever owned by Everon, and like the others, it
took me some time to really appreciate their music. Years, in fact,
since when I bought it I was
expecting a prog metal band sound. Although Fantasma is heavier their
earlier works, like Venus, it
is not metal in any way. Everon music was always too proggy and the
heavy guitars bursts that are
kind of their trademark, along with some great piano lines, is something
very particular and unique.
Quite interesting, after a few listenings.

This is a very
emotional record, since the main inspiration was the death of a dear
friend in a car
accident (and to whom this CD is dedicated). The songwriting and
perfomances are very strong and
convincing. Oliver Philip´s vocals may not be everyon´s cup of tea, but
sure it fits Everon´s sound
perfectly. As ever, the musicanship is awesome and very much used for
the music´s sake, there are
not much noodling here. It all helped by the right production (done by
Philips himself and drummer
Christian Moos, who also handles the engineering) and the very good
arrangements.

A different prog album, by an original and different
band. Maybe their very best, up to that point.
It takes some time to sink in, but then this is the trademark of most
great prog bands. Excellent
addition to any prog music colletion. Four stars.

Forth album by Everon, and again a good one all the way - entitled
fantasma from 2000. I always like this
band and their heavy prog combined with symphonic elements. I guess the
main reason I like so much
this band is because of the voice of Oliver Philips, excellent vocalist
who really knows to sing at the
highest level any time the usic needs him, but also of course the
instrumetation is good. So Fantasma is
another great album of Everon with nice blend between heavy riffs and
melodic arrangemets , specially on
keys. The best pieces are : the opening track Men Of Rust, here Everon
simply shines, the folower Perfect
Remedy and the piece that ends the CD - Ghosts - simply a great tune,
maybe among the best Everon
ever created. So all in all a solid 3 stars, a good album all the way,
but not realy a masterpiece of prog
music, more like 3,5. Similar band at some point maybe Enchant. Worth to
listen to this band if you want
something comfortable and enjoying music in the same time.
