One thing I really love is progressive rock/metal music. In particular my most favorite band is Dream Theater, who’ve been around since the late 80’s. Seeing them perform live when I lived in Houston was an experience I’ll never forget. They are some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever heard and seen. I never thought I’d hear any band that could compare with the kind of talent Dream Theater has, until I discovered a great band called Sun Caged about five years ago.

Since I first heard their debut self titled album in 2003, I was hooked. This was a band that easily harnessed talent comparable to Dream Theater. Their songs were just as complex, just as melodic and catchy and just simply amazing.

For the last few years now I’ve been waiting on a follow-up to Sun Caged’s first CD. I’d check their website occasionally to look for news, but it was never quite finished. Well somewhere along the way they did finally release their new CD, entitled Artemisia, last year and I managed to not even find out until just recently. Whoops.

After listening to the entire album, I had to immediately listen again. It’s just that good. In fact to my ears Artemisia is even more enjoyable than Dream Theater’s last CD, Systematic Chaos, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well.

If you’re a fan of progressive music, I highly recommend checking out Sun Caged’s Artemisia. You can listen to some samples of their music here, on their website, or you can visit their Myspace page to hear several streaming tracks.
