Malombra - T.R.E.S. (2023)

The fourht album from this band from Italy.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths, mellotron, vocoder and vocals.

This album contains tracks recorded between 1994 and 1997. It was supposed to be their third album. But it remained unreleased until a few months ago. In the meantime, the band released an album in 2001.

Malombra is a band that has never really impressed me. I have reviewed their first two albums for ProgArchives and # 1 of this blog. I have not been bothered about their 2001 album.

Their music is a mix of folk rock, goth rock and dark progressive rock. 

The Italian vocals is dark and there is some spoken words here too.The sound is dark and muddy. The music is also pastoral, dark. The sound quality is pretty poor at places. The guitars sounds too plastic and thin.

The songs are not particular good either and there is not much to be happy about here. 

This is a decent album but nothing more than that.
