The search for the best melodic metal is never-ending.. So many bands, so many melodies, but when nothing seems to break through and take you away, here is one band that you must be turned on to.. An Abstract Illusion sets the bar high. VERY high. The way they build their soundscape is not only unique in craft, but also in quality. I guarantee that you won't find anything out there quite like this little outfit from Sweden. Pushing the envelop amongst a metaphorical sea of washed-out sounds and half-hearted melodies, they excel in doing what they do best: combining intelligent and modern-leaning compositions with a beautiful and effortless balance of melody and aggression. Very hard to pull off, but An Abstract Illusion don't even break a sweat. Its plainly obvious that the crew here love what they do, and it shows in every second of every song they write. A very recent and extremely pleasant discovery for me! If you haven't heard yet, then most definitely for you too! Do yourself a favor and check these guys out, and enjoy the interview!
