Crossover Prog
Sweden
XINEMA is another interesting addition to the growing number of Prog bands coming across the sea from Sweden. XINEMA is a three piece prog/melodic rock band, and has existed in it's present form since March -99. Their music can be described as melodic emotional, well played and with a profound intention of making each song a working entity.
The band's motto is: "- A good song is always a good song, regardless of genre." XINEMA takes great pride in their strong musical integrity, and has always done things their own way. This gives at hand that there's no obvious choice when it comes to placing them a specific genre. The guys themselves feels that they are standing with one leg in the melodic/AOR field, and with the other in the progressive realm. This release will please fans of SAGA, ASIA, RUSH and the likes.
