Imagery is a Brazilian Progressive Metal band. The Inner Journey (2012) is their first album. To celebrate the pre-release of the album back in March of 2012 they opened a concert by the Dutch band Focus, which is quite an achievement for an unknown band.
When I say Progressive Metal you'll have to forget the label a little bit (even if it's really difficult to do so) , because Imagery turns out to be different. Forget about all the Dream Theater copies you hear every day!
The Inner Journey (2012) was self-released by the band and shows in its 8 tracks and 43 minutes a perfect balance between the Heavy Metal and the Progressive Rock. If you can't believe me, just push play in the first track of The Inner Journey (2012) and you'll get what I mean. 'Fourth Secret' is instrumental and has everything. It is heavy but full of melodies. When 'Imagery', the track, comes in, you hardly notice that the track changed. Harsh vocals with dissonant melodies, the most interesting instrumental passages and the epic ending. It's even weird to listen to such a good debut. It's far from common that bands get first albums as good as The Inner Journey (2012).
