Cyklad - Offline (2022)

The debut album from this one-man-band from Sweden.

This is the band from Mr. Bjorn Sandstrom and he did the guitars, bass, keyboards and electronics here.

A drummer added his drums and various vocalists added their vocals.

This album is a Bandcamp album and Bjorn is the lead guitarist in the Swedish heavy metal band LostQ. Lyrics and the artwork was provided by another artist.

The music is a mix of neo-prog and heavy prog. The vocals is both male and female and the album is fifty-five minutes long.

There are also some Swedish folk rock incorporated into this music. Subtle, but still there. Ditto for the heavy mertal influences. Bjorn's daytime band is a heavy metal band and that shines through most of this album. 

The vocals is good and ditto for the sound. The sound reminds me about the 1990s heavy metal scene.

Some of the music is decent and some of the music is rather good. This is an interesting album and one well worth checking out. Is this a one off album from Bjorn ? Only time will tell but this album deserve some attention from the progressive rock scene.
