The fourth album from this band from USA.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The Saga vocalist Michael Sadler adds vocals on one song.
This is part two of the The Uncrowned King series of albums. I am not sure of this is the final act or if it is a trilogy or something more substantial than that.
I reviewed part 1 for # 2 of this blog back in July 2021 and I liked it a lot. It is indeed a very good album. I also reviewed their second album one week ago. Another gem of an album. In short, Evership is a good band.
The music here is a mix of symphonic prog and neo-prog. References are Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Styx, Genesis, Supertramp, Kansas, The Flower Kings and Yes here.
US symphonic prog and glam prog meets European symphonic prog and neo-prog. That is the best long winded label to put on their music.
The music is bold, big, epic and at times pretty pastoral and melancholic too. It is melodic throughout and not particular heavy. Bombastic but not heavy.
The songs are good to very good. The vocals and the details are very good.
Hence, this is a very good album and one well worth checking out. Evership is one of the better progressive rock bands in today's scene.
3.5 points
