    For their latest album Steel Prophet entered the world renowned Silver Cloud Studios again with Joe Floyd (from Warrior) as producer. This is also the final record with singer Rick Mythiasin who left Steel Prophet a few weeks ago. His trademark vocals have become a part of the sound of this band. Sometimes he sounds raspy, biting, and sometimes gentle. Sometimes he knows how to put a lot of emotion in his singing. You might wonder what his departure might mean for the future of Steel Prophet. The band has indicated to go on. Well, there's always the records already out to enjoy, like this one. The line-up of the band has always changed and so has the music, as is clear on Unseen. The aggression and dark heavy metal from the Dark Hallucinations days has evolved, getting more melodic nuances. The band doesn't shy away from doing a few lighter songs like Bolero and Magenta. The metal is still predominantly present here as melody and metal don't contradict but form a strong bond on this album. Here's an album you can listen to for hours. Great job! Personally I also like the mystical cover.
