about
There are two bands with this name: 1) Amon Ra are a hard rock band from Asturias, Spain 2) Amon Ra started in an era that was very confusion in Germany. The Wall came down and 'ossies' and 'wessies' came together. This group from Bamberg, Germany also combines the different cultures of the country. The singer even has his roots in America, and as a result his vocals are without any accent. With the inspiration of Rush, Dream Theater, Kansas and Rick Wakeman (according to the booklet), a great mixture of musical ingredients and fantasy is the result. Precarious Balance immediately starts with vocals and a piano. The Way gives a gives a good impression of what is going to come; powerful, melodic and theatrical music. Most of the songs are written by Thomas Wenzel (guitars) en Dierk Nelder (keyboards), as a result of which the compositions combine powerful en melodic parts. Besides that, there's a 'precarious balance' between the instruments, every musician has his own position in the music and every part is audible in the production. As the name of the group already shows, the group finds inspiration in the ancient Egyptian culture, but as many symphonic rock groups also in the writings of J.R.R.Tolkien. This time not the well-known novel 'In The Lord Of The Rings' but 'The Story of Beren and Luthien' was used. The song of the latter title is a very nice instrumental epic of almost 10 minutes, with many changes in atmosphere and has a lot of place for different groupmember
