The second album from this band from Sri Lanka.
The band is Mustafa Khetty on vocals. He has also composed and arranged everything here.
He had help from a quintet of guests who added drums, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards and vocals.
Mustafa Khetty had slimmed down his ambitions and music since the big production on the 2021 debut album Mozaick.
He had become more focused and gone a bit more narrow when it comes to music.
The music is a mix of progressive metal, hard rock and neo-prog. There are some guitar hero stuff here and some more neo-classical music too. Mustafa Khetty has clearly big ambitions but perhaps not enough resources to carry them through.
The vocals is good and so is the arrangements. There are some Rainbow influences here. Strangely enough, he chose to do a Deep Purple cover instead of a Rainbow cover. His version of Highway Star is not particular good.
The quality is again somewhere between decent and good. I trust we will hear more music from Mustafa Khetty and I hope the new music will be an improvement on his first two albums.
