Reviews DARKWATER - CALLING THE EARTH TO WITNESS - ULTERIUM 
Admittedly, this girl is not a big Dream Theater fan. Even if I were a Dream Theater lover, I am not so sure it would translate into liking a band that does so much like the original. Otherwise, there are many Dream Theater copycats out there. The latest is a Swedish bunch called Darkwater.
The progressive songs have both harder and softer parts and it is the more lush sections that bring DT to mind. The keyboards, swirling drums and hard chords all evoke everything that is necessary in the progressive metal department. The high voice of Henrik Bath requires a special mention, however, for its power. Even the very high pitches, which show up scarcely, seem under the man’s control. Not bad for what it is, except it is all been done before solid musicianship and all. Did get a kick out of the reversed into though. Does that mean the intro’s proper title is 7614352? - Anna Tergel
