...Suns were originally posted over at the ROCKOVERGRACELAND blog. The original download links there expired a while ago. I've received many requests to make these three albums available here. ROCKOVERGRACELAND is very sporadically updated now and I've directly emailed the owner of the blog about a repost here. I hope I'm not stepping on any...

2008-02-22 12:04:08 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Suns second album Existence should be the kind of album that I love. Its got all of the elements that I really like in prog metal. Clean singing, intricate heavy monumental riffs in the vein of Opeth and Katatonia and to top it of songs with experimental structures. The only problem is that when I finnish listening to Existence Im not...

DARK SUNS - Grave Human Genuine (2008)

2008-03-04 14:43:17 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Suns' ultimate goal is this: to write an album that sounds more like itself than its influences. Grave Human Genuine forges a certain distance ahead but doesn't entirely escape similarity with four cornerstones of interesting metal - Tool, Opeth, Anathema and Pain of Salvation - still, the album offers much more variety than any of them...

...Suns is an underground band even amongst progressive metal, which is a shame because (as you can tell by the ratings for 'Existence') they beat most of the albums on the market. This breed of complex, fluid progressive music fuses a variety of influences seamlessly: Opeth, for their dynamic, fluctuating song structures, Green Carnation for...

GUAPO - Five Suns (2004)

The Article has images
2008-09-13 16:17:45 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Suns is the album in which the guys of Guapo could decidedly assert that they had accomplished their own voice in contemporary avant-prog. The overall sound developed and crystallized in this album is an energetic confluence of Present-inspired RIO, zheul, modern Crimson, experimental jazz and heavy-oriented psychedelia. Connections with...
