From ProgArchives.com bio:
"X-PANDA is a progressive metal band founded in April of 2009 in Estonia. The band has not been around for long, but have built a reputation of great music and stellar live performances. The band, which is comprised of Kaarel TAMRA, Risto VIRKHAUSEN, Karl-Juhan LAANESAAR, and Tamar NUGIS, make music that is both highly progressive while simultaneously accessible and catchy. Their music has a powerful melodic edge as well as a great metallic basis as well as jazz fusion hooks and enhancements. The band's debut studio album, Flight of Fancy, was released in 2011."
Some reviewers have stated they have similarities to what Haken is doing, but with less vocals overall. There is a lot to take in on this disc...70 minutes long, but easy to listen to as the production is top-notch for a debut album.
