Thanks to these two releases, Alkemyst caught the attention of numerous record labels, which finally lead to signing a contract with the famous Nuclear Blast Records. With a new signer on board � Ramon Messina � Alkemyst begun working on their debut offering� After some production hassles, the band finally managed to release �Meeting in the Mist� on June 30th, 2003. The album starts slowly with the symphonic, instrumental intro �Spells & Elixirs� and then immediately attacks the listener with the speedy and melodic track �Still Alive�. This song pretty much sums up the band�s musical style, offering a brilliant mixture of old-school power metal in the likes of Manowar, Blind Guradian or Helloween, and passages typical for the prog metal genre. Other highlights on the LP include �It�s Time�, �Hold On To Your Dreams�, �Passage� and �Empty Skies�. But perhaps the most memorable track on the entire album is �Nameless Son�, a 12-minute epic juggernaut which ends the LP. The album received critical acclaim all over the world and soon became one of the most respected releases on the French metal scene.
