Roll The Dice (10:40) Sanity are a Swedish band that is playing music that is a mix between progressive rock, heavy metal, neo-classical hardrock and AOR. The band was founded in 1995 and this is their debut CD. Black Sabbath and Dream Theater etc. influence them, but beside these bands they are also reminiscent to Deep Purple, Lion's Share, Yngwie Malmsteen and Queensryche. The singer Ola "Knuda" Wikström is very good, but he has left the band after the recording of this CD. I suppose it has to do with the fact that he didn't pay his part of the money for this recording. He's nowadays replaced by Rickard Bengtsson. The guitarists is very good and the CD has a very good production for being a private release. This is a good album that you might enjoy if you like the bands mentioned in this review. But with so many Prog Metal bands around today they've got a hard competition.
