DIMENSION ACT IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASE “MANIFESTATION OF PROGRESS”

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 1 February 2012 –Drawing inspiration from bands such as Dream Theater, Evergrey, Pagan’s Mind and Ayreon, the sonic appearance of Manifestation of Progress will surely appeal to fans of both progressive and melodic metal.
