I want to give a massive shout out to Saturn's little heard 2013 release Naya Din. Modern hard rock mixed with progressive and acoustic elements and vocals that sound very suited to the style of Indian music a la Kula Shakar.
Pakistan's very own answer to Dream Theater sees a very experienced and tight band performing really catchy melodic progressive metal.
One element I like is that while both the vocalist and guitarist feature prominently in every song, each of the musicians in the band is allowed to shine. Solid keyboard bass and drums really propel this album along so it sounds shorter than it is
Be warned that this is a hard to find gem of an album and that the singer sings exclusively in his mother language.
A promising 1st release and I will be looking forward to their 2nd album.
6.5/10. I know the score is quite mean but its open to be revised.
