Describing their music as Neoclassic Progressive Metal, quite what this
band would sound like I wasn't entirely sure. By the time I was half way
through listening to the first track I soon got the picture.
It's big production songs with tales of epic journeys and which focus more
towards the actual musical side of the songs than the vocals themselves.
While the words paint an outline of what the nature of songs are all
about, it is the music behind the words that help create this sonic
symphony. This is the sort of music that you can relax to and sit back and
let it wash through your body as it bombards you with its explosion on the
senses.
If you like this type of rock then you'll thoroughly enjoy this album as
it's very good at what it's set out to accomplish. Hardly surprising
perhaps when you take a look at the pedigree of artists it has performing
on this album. On vocals we have John West from the band Royal Hunt. The
wizard behind the keyboards is non other than Ring of Fire's very own
Vitalij Kuprij. The things that man can do with a keyboard are really
quite astounding. He really knows how to put the 'pro' into progressive
rock. On bass we have Kevin Chown (Magnitude 9 & Tiles) and lastly on
drums we have Mike Terrana (Rage, Axel Rudi Pell).
The songs seem to go on forever, but if this is how you get your kicks
then I'm sure you'll enjoy this album. |
