Dropshard - Silk (2014)

The second and final album from this band from Italy.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths, programming, flute and vocals.

Their 2011 debut album Anywhere But Home was a straight progressive metal album. It was a decent one too.

The band changed a bit direction on Silk. The art-work made me purchase it as it looked like a more progressive rock album. Indeed, it is.

There is still a lot of progressive metal on this album. Add some hard rock too and some djent. But the band has still managed to make a pretty consideral step towards neo-prog and RPI. 

The music is rather melodic. The vocals is good.

I believe this band is no more. But at least, they signed off with a good album and an album everyone into melodic progressive rock should check out.

3 points
