seems as if more concept albums than ever are flooding the
progressive-music market these days. Among the latest is Fooled Eyes,
the cinematic and haunting debut from the Brazilian sextet Thessera.
Originally released independently in South America earlier this
year, Fooled Eyes was picked up by U.S.-based ProgRock Records a few
months later and is now enjoying worldwide acclaim. Indeed, Thessera
sounds like a band beyond its young years, filling a sonic canvas with
the tale of a young artist celebrating his engagement to the woman of
his dreams. During the engagement party, he falls ill and faints, which
begins a musical journey through his unconsciousness, traveling across
memories both joyous and sorrowful. Two-thirds of the way though the
album, the artist is awakened with news that his fiancée has been in an
accident, and a series of irreconcilable events are set in motion,
culminating in a tragic finale. The album becomes an emotional
rollercoaster that sounds best when the members of Thessera allow
themselves to break out of the musical templates created by the likes
of Dream Theater and Angra. The ballad "The Leading Roles" and the
heavy melodic rocker "Party's On" sound unlike anything else on Fooled
Eyes, and the band also manages to incorporate fusion, blues, Brazilian
rhythms and even classical music into some of the arrangements.
Hmm: An independent-thinking progressive-metal band that creates
credible concepts rooted in the real world? If Thessera can pick up
where they left off on Fooled Eyes, these guys could be on to
something.
