Perséide - Parmi les arbres (2019)

The second album from this band from Canada.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, sitar, mellotron, organ, synths and vocals.

This band comes from the French speaking part of Canada. Their take on progressive rock is also unusual and untraditonal. They are to a certain degree a Quebec scene band too as they has adopted a lot of the music and sounds from that scene. 

The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is a bit difficult to describe too. Take a bit grunge, add some of the melody sensibilities of The Beatles, Rush and Led Zeppelin. There are also the folk rock symphonic prog from Harmonium here. Also add some influences from the Middle-East scene and from the French symphonic prog scene. 

There are a great deal of epic music in their sound too.

The vocals are really good and the band has taken a step forward from their good debut album. 

The result is an album with mostly very good songs. 

This is an album well worth checking out and one who should win a lot of fans among progressive rock lovers around the world.
