There's absolutely no way I couldn't check out a band named after my favorite song, and it turns out they're actually very good. I usually don't get into Power Metal as it's kind of a novelty genre, but Wuthering Heights transcend their stylistic norms and make (honestly) great music. The Shadow Cabinet is so triumphantly grand and melodic that it makes me suspect the entire band is classically trained. They even surpass Blind Guardian in sheer sophistication. But, unlike most Prog bands, the drama of the song always takes precedence over the technical "showboating" of the band. This is proof that Metal can be
high-art just as well as it can low-brow fun.
