I'm not a huge fan of power-progressive bands but can definitely get into a few of them. Phonomik is a Danish group that have just released their debut slab for Nightmare Records. The group compare closely with Kamelot or 90s act Conception in the way they deliver heavy bone crushing riffs pierced with keyboards and a softer vocal style. For the most part they stay on the traditional path, somewhere between heavy groove numbers and symphonic realms. The band should find a great home on Nightmare Records and eventually an audience in the US based on the merit of the debut.
