“This is the third official release of Distant Past and as I’ve said before “Alpha Draconis” made a serious impact on me. Overall the arrangements aren’t renewing or whatever but the way this music is written deserves all of your attention. Distant Past hits every single instrument pretty hard and they contain some kind of mysterious charisma. This is Heavy Metal in the first place, melodic and foreseen with one after another good and emotional played guitar solo. In and between the tracks Distant Past adds progressive elements and they’re flirting more than once with either extreme either alternative or even darkened boundaries. Don’t stand back now because the way Distant Past performs it will strike you down and they’re not one or another ‘wannabee alternative’ band, this is pure Heavy Metal in the first place. . At least it is an impossible job to label Distant Past.
