Mourning Knight - A World of Dreams (2023)

The second album from this band from USA.

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

This is a new band to me and in the US progressive rock scene.

I have yet to sample their 2021 self-titled debut album. 

The music is symphonic prog. US symphonic prog. A man named Jason Brower is the main man behind this band and he has composed everything here and does all the vocals and the tangents.

There are a lot of Kansas influences in their music. There is also some notable Spock's Beard and Neal Morse influences here. Add some Pink Floyd too and some neo-prog. 

Then you get this one hour long album.

The sound is a bit poor. It lacks a bit in the muscles department. The mellotron is good, though.

The songs are a bit between decent and good. Some better compositions and a bit better productions would have made this album soar like a bald eagle. 

US symphonic prog fans should get this album without any form of hesitiations. 

2.5 points
