31 Days of Halloween: Day 4 - Halloween (the band)

I can't do a salute to Halloween without featuring these guys, also my wife would be very disappointed in me since it's her favorite band!
Halloween is one of the newer French Progressive Rock bands. Influenced by H.P. Lovecraft stories,  their musical influences are varied including everything from classical to KING CRIMSON, U.K., VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR and early MARILLION. For the most part, however, the music sounds original, often being very atmospheric in nature rather than solos against a backdrop of instrumentation. There is some excellent, contemporary guitar playing, as well as excellent keyboard work, vociferous violin, and tasteful bass. These guys are the PERFECT fusion of classical and rock (or the PERFECT band PERIOD my wife calls them:-)  WEBSITE
