Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Destination’s Calling – End Of Time (2012)

What a pleasant surprise! DESTINATION’S CALLING of the boys are back and set with “End Of Time”, the successor to the 2008 long-iron “Invisible Walls” before. And four years ago I was able to express in terms of strong material, the band is an absolute recommendation – fortunately, things have not changed in the last four years, nothing!

On the contrary, because the Germans present themselves on their second album with even better sound, even ausgereifterem song material and with a better overall impression still around. And well, you scratch it quite clear at the upper limit of the scale of points! Because regardless of whether the (still) to VANISHING POINT reminding “Soul Bound”, which is oriental atmosphere meandering “Revolution in Mind,” the groovy title track “End Of Time” and the stomping “Burning Paradise” – always deliver DESTINATION’S CALLING elegant melodies , coupled with a good amount of pressure and catchy hooks that always performs at its best.

With “The Broken Hourglass” and the accompanying “Dreams Died On The Road” has to finally have a really finely balanced ballad at the start, a little of the ballad exploits “Always Will Be” and “Dreams Come True” by HAMMERFALL recalls. “Another Day” suggests a similar score, but it evokes reminiscences of the ballads work of Primal Fear, and the rest of the song material, the high level across the board always maintained.
