Sieges Even are a German progressive metal band formed in Munich in 1985, noted for technical playing and an evolution from thrash-influenced roots to melodic progressive metal.

Key members and contributors mentioned in reviews include Markus Steffen (guitar), Oliver Holzwarth (bass), Alex Holzwarth (drums), Franz Herde (early vocals) and Arno Menses (vocals from the 2005 album). Producer Kalle Trapp is credited on Life Cycle; later albums were released via InsideOut. Discography in reviews ranges from Life Cycle (1988) to Paramount (2007).

DeBaser reviews praise Sieges Even's technical skill, melodic invention and evolution from thrash roots to progressive metal. Vocals receive mixed notes on early work but Arno Menses' arrival is highlighted. Paramount and The Art Of Navigating By The Stars are singled out as high points.

For:Fans of progressive metal, technical prog-rock listeners, and readers interested in European prog scenes.

 Thrash metal is an occasional companion for this German band, a child of the '80s, an efficient but awkward collaborator.

 I place this work by Sieges Even at the top; "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" easily surpasses the latest productions from Dream Theater, Spock’s Beard, Redemption, XsaviouR, and Flagship.
