Sunburst – Manifesto 2024
The cinematic progressive metal band SUNBURST are finally back with their second album "Manifesto" via Inner Wound Recordings on June 14th! When you listen to the new album, it's clear that the band stepped up their game.
The material is more progressive, heavy, complex and melodic compared to the debut album. The songs are more dramatic and there are more orchestral arrangements and parts on "Manifesto", which gives the album a movie-like, cinematic vibe. You will also find the elements that SUNBURST are known for on the album, like impressive instrumental parts, intense guitar riffing, soaring melodic vocals and emotional and memorable melodies. The album was produced by Sunburst and Steve Lado, who also mixed and mastered the album. Bob Katsionis performs all keyboards on the album and John K came up with the orchestral arrangements on the songs "The Flood", "Hollow Lies" and "Nocturne". The artwork was created by SUNBURST vocalist Vasilis Georgiou (HALO Creative Design Lab).
The result is a must have album for fans of progressive metal and bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Conception, Haken and Tesseract! Don't miss out on "Manifesto", an epic journey of cinematic progressive metal!

Sunburst - Manifesto Review. By Kenstrosity on June 14, 2024 in Reviews, Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Symphonic Metal, 78 comments. AMG 's excellent review of Greek progressive power metal quartet Sunburst 's debut Fragments of Creation was among my first finds here.
Written based on this version: 2024, CD, Inner Wound Recordings. There is a fine art to taking the insular and arguably inaccessible world of progressive metal and presenting it to a wider audience in an accessible package.
Mit „Manifesto" festigt SUNBURST seinen Weg. Traumhaft beginnt der Opener „The Flood" mit orchestralen Parts, ehe die schweren Gitarren in die Ruhe einfallen und ein komplexes Riff mit hohem Tempo präsentieren.
