"Well, I have heard almost all Elegy's recordings and this really blows my mind. Ian Parry is such a great singer! and I love their "State of Mind" album, but "Manifestation of Fear" dissapointed me a little. I really like Elegy's work in the past and for me "Supremacy" is their best.
Forbidden Fruit starts with a fast rocker named "Icehouse" that is really good with an awesome catchy bridge to the chorus, one the greatest songs in the album is "Force Majeure" (song 2) a really fast heavy metal song that will blow your mind!! incredible!!. And the other favorites for me are the great "Behind the tears" (so 'darn' good!), "'Til eternity" and "The great charade" (excellent prog-metal!).I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes some of prog-metal or heavy. For me this is Ian Parry's greatest album with the band... I hope they could delight us with a new work soon!!"

Classic elegy!

"Elegy's music is a mix between power metal/progressive with classic hard rock influences. The musical dexterity of each member is beyond credibility. Elegy's music is not commercial and is not easy to get at first, but taste is developed slowly until it clicks. This is the type of good music that evolves over time.



Ian Parry's lyrics are well thought out, often expressing many metaphors and analogies. This album is the first featuring Patrick Rondat (ex-Jan Michel Jarre) on guitars. At first I was skeptical of Forbidden Fruit because departed original guitarist, Henk Van der Laars, had enormeous talent. Dirk Bruinenberg at drums is phenomenal. To me, he is one of the top ranked drummers today, someone not to be overlooked (check him out with Adagio, Consortium Project and most recently with Patrick Rondat's solo band).



It's very regretful that Elegy is one of those bands that are not that well known. Maybe it's because of its management or music label, etc. But this CD truly rocks. It has more upbeat sound to it than its predecessor, Manifestation of Fear, which is also a tremendous effort. This band deserves more recognition!"
