CENTURY SCREAM is a band from Northern France, that issued a truly original first eponymous album in 1997. Mainly sung in French, it can be described as being in the most symphonic vein of Progressive heavy-metal, as it creates a sort of French speaking counterpart to the great SHADOW GALLERY. The musicians perform sophisticated symphonic heavy-metal that owes much more from ethereal parts than in pure technique, so common in this genre. Here can also be heard valuable guests, such as guitarists Patrick RONDAT and Jean-Claude RAPIN, on the title "Time - Ou L'Histoire D'Un Tueur Invincible". Issued four years later, "Hero" shows a slight change in direction, from then on inspired by DREAM THEATER and VANDEN PLAS. For the occasion, the language used went from French to English. Not to be missed !
