Pretty good for an up a rising Melodic/Progressive rock band

"Found this band via a review ay OpenUpAndSay.com, and I find their music pretty good. I've been into the Melodic rock/metal scene for a short time, and am always looking for a band with a good solid, and strong melody within their songs that not only complements, but also enhances the standard rock instruments via the melodic additions. Silvio Massard, the Vocalist, also has a really good and strong baritone voice that just keeps on adding to the music contained within..I look forward to seeing what else this Band will produce as time goes on..."

Captivating melodic metal

"This Australian band may just be the best progressive metal band you've never heard. For some reason, this band just does not get any coverage in the metal press. Vanishing Point is progressive metal in the style of Dream Theater, Symphony X, and Vanden Plas. Less technically-focused than bands like Dream Theater, Vanishing Point seems to focus more on the melodic aspect of progressive metal. The vocals are similar to Dan Swano's in Nightingale, and really pull the listener into each song. Tangled in Dream is the band's second album, and is a truly excellent disc from start to finish. The opening track, Surreal, grabs you right away, and songs like Bring on the Rain, Two Minds One Soul, and the hidden track, a cover of Pink Floyd's On the Turning Away, keep you hooked the whole way through. If you like your metal to be soaring, melodic, and progressive, then Vanishing Point is the band for you. I highly recommend checking this disc out. Vanishing Point has a new album coming out (hopefully) later this year. I am eagerly awaiting it. Till then I'll have to be content replaying Tangled in Dream again...and again.
