Nana. Bader - Wormwood (2011)

The second album from this artist from Lebanon/Kuwait.

Bader Nana does the guitars, drums, bass, keyboards and vocals himself on this album.

He had some help from some guests who provided percussion, guitars and synths.

Bader Nana was born and grew up in Lebanon before he moved to Kuwait where he now record and release his albums and EPs.

This album is my first meeting with Bader Nana. I have heard about him for years as he and his music has got a very good reputation. Hence, I put his albums up for review this summer.

His debut album was a Michael Jackson rework and I am nowhere near interested in reviewing those kind of albums. So I start with this album and adds reviews of the three other albums later this summer.

The music on this album is somewhere between Spock's Beard and Dream Theater. Add some neo-prog too and you get this album.

There is a nice balance between heavy prog and some more melodic prog on this album. It is obvious that Bader Nana knows what he is doing.

The result is a good album and an artist well worth following. 

I am looking forward to listen to his three other albums.
