German power metal band with some prog elements. They have been around since 1985. Their sound has been linked to bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween & Gamma Ray, but they definitely have their own style.

Abraxas are one of those bands I read about in the Norwegian metal magazine, Scream. They got good reviews, and I bought the CD. 'Tomorrow's World' is actually a remastered re-release of the band's Japanese release, 'The Liaison', from '93. As with any good reissue, this contains some extra songs, and the booklet is extensive. It's a good album with catchy songs, but I can't seem to tell them apart when I haven't listened to the album in a while. So though I like the album, I don't actually listen to it that much. There are so many other great bands in this genre, some of them just have to fall a little on the sideway.

Killer tracks: Tomorrow's World, Place Without Mirrors
