Vanishing Point Distant Is The Sun CD (Jewel Case, 2014, Surreal Records)

Vanishing Point – Distant Is The Sun is the fifth studio album from Melbourne melodic metal band Vanishing Point, originally released in 2014. Combining melodic progressive metal, power metal, progressive rock and gothic atmosphere with accessible AOR-influenced melodies, the album showcases the band's distinctive approach to Australian melodic metal.

Following 2007's The Fourth Season, Distant Is The Sun features the expressive vocals of Silvio Massaro, melodic guitar work, layered arrangements and the progressive songwriting that has been central to Vanishing Point's sound since their formation in the early 1990s. The album moves between driving metal passages, atmospheric sections and memorable melodic choruses, balancing technical musicianship with strong song structures.

The album was mixed by Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann of German power metal band Orden Ogan at Greenman Studios in Germany. Sonata Arctica vocalist Tony Kakko makes a guest vocal appearance on "Circle Of Fire", adding another dimension to one of the album's highlights.

Featuring 14 tracks, including "King Of Empty Promises", "Distant Is The Sun", "When Truth Lies", "Let The River Run", "Pillars Of Sand" and "Walls Of Silence", this is a strong representation of Vanishing Point's melodic and progressive songwriting.
