The debut album from this artist from Norway.
Lars Fredrik Frøislie did the drums, keyboards and vocals himself.
A guest added bass on this album.
Lars Fredrik Frøislie is a leading member of both Tusmørke and Wobbler. Two big bands in the Norwegian progressive metal scene.
In short, a lot was and is expected from this album. This almost fifty minutes long album.
Two sixteen minutes long compositions is bookending this album. Two shorter compositions is crammed in between these two epics.
No guitars means a lot of keyboards. These keyboards means vintage mellotron, harpsichord, moog and organs. Really vintage, it is too.
These four compositions is in reality one long epic suite.... one piece of music. There is one main theme and it appears, in some variations, throughout this album. The main theme is tweaked but it is obvious the music is built around it. That is a good thing and one detail I appreciate.
It is indeed a great piece of music too with a lot of interesting details. It is a borderline superb album but there are not enough superb details to elevate it to this level.
Fans of Norwegian symphonic prog will love this album.
