District 19 - Stay For The Ending (2023)

The fifth album from this band from USA.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This is the follow up to their 2019 Screens album. An album I like a lot. 

I guess the pandemic and the cost of living has had some influence on this four years long break. These four years has been incredible hard for all of us.

The band continues down the same path as on their first four albums. That means some very complex and muscular music somewhere between progressive metal and neo-prog.

There was some goth rock on the Screens album. That has thankfully gone on Stay For The Ending. 

The female vocals is fitting and muscular enough for this kind of music. They are in fact very good vocals and ms Leslie Hunt is very much in full control over her voice. That is not always the case when it comes to vocals in this genre. 

The guitars are cutting and good. Ditto for the keyboards.

This one hour long album is therefore a good album and one to check out from one of the better bands from USA.
