Description/Reviews: 
The band’s sound, surprisingly, is a more atmospheric style compared to the average progressive metal band, arguably leaning a bit more towards the alternative sound (or, at a pinch, a metal version of Pink Floyd) than what you might expect from the genre. Obviously, I’m speaking as someone who doesn’t listen to a lot of progressive metal, but I actually like this style of it by comparison to the Dream Theater worship, as it’s the sort of thing which shows a very tasteful restraint and appreciation towards strong songwriting that you actually will want to listen to if you’re not normally a fan of the genre, but is still technically challenging in a way that doesn’t shove itself into your face. It’s basically the Queensryche and Crimson Glory way of doing progressive metal, only with a lot more of a focus on atmosphere compared to them, which is completely fine in my book!

Description/Reviews: 
”Schlage mein Herz, Schlage” is a nice re-entry into the progressive scene. It is perhaps more on the atmospheric side than on the metallic one, but there definitly are hard rock and metal elements to be found on the album. Rather than a progressive metal album in the purest sense of the word, ”Schlage mein Her, Schlage” is an eclectic progressive album that combines elements from alternative rock, gothic rock, heavy metal, and hard rock into a dark and atmospheric blend.
