Soniq Circus - Reflections In The Hourglass (2011)

The second album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band debuted in 2007 with a self-titled album. The music on that album was a mix of good old 1970s heavy progressive rock and more new'ish neo-prog. All this with a Swedish flavour too.

The band returns with a more complex and symphonic take on all above. There are some The Flower Kings influences here. Some very strong ones, indeed.

The music on this one hour long album is therefore muscular, complex and pretty epic. It is also pretty melodic.

The vocals is good and ditto for the sound.

The songs are around eight minutes long on average.

The result is a good album and one to check out if Swedish prog and muscular neo-prog is your thing.
