Steel Prophet Omniscient

2014, Steel Prophet is one of those Power Metal groups that have risen so far in their career despite being grossly overlooked by the general Power Metal masses. This is largely due to the band being credited as one of the pioneers of the Progressive Power Metal movement. OMNISCIENT also finds the band diving back to the roots that helped establish the Progressive Power Metal movement, especially in North America. Not only does this effort show the band basking in plenty of Progressive ideas and foundations, but also ends up a conceptual album. This recording is based on an original Science Fiction story Steve Kachinsky himself wrote, much like their 1999 album DARK HALLUCINATIONS which was based off Ray Bradbury's book FAHRENHEIT 451. Fans of early Steel Prophet will definitely find plenty of joy in dissecting OMNISCIENT and its story, embracing the return of the band to their roots while anxiously awaiting to see how the returning members will direct this change of pace on the next album.
