The leader of this French band is called HUGO, but it is not the HUGO from Spain or the HUGO from the USA, who we all know as one of the great STEVE PERRY soundalikes! Anyway, this HUGO is French and his project ANTHROPIA is his baby, as he played almost all instruments (except drums), sang, wrote and produced almost everything, which I quite impressive, because it all sounds very much like a band.

Musically we are treated with a huge sounding Neo-Classical Melodic Power/Progressive Metalsound a la ANGRA/SYMPHONY X, yet a bit less sensational, as the choruses of the songs are not as good as those 2 bands, but musically it falls in the same style for sure. 10 songs are included and with the exception of 2 short instrumentals, most of them are very lengthy. Somehow the CD also reminds me of bands like POWER OF OMENS, SIGMA and PAGAN’S MIND, yet a bit heavier with more Power Metal influences. Anyway, a second part is already on the way and it is safe to say that if you’re a fan of neo-classical Prog/Power Metal you will like this for sure!
