Phoenix Again - Unexplored (2017)

The third album from this band from Italy.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

A guest added female vocals.

I am trying my best to complete my reviews of this band's albums. That is five albums.

The reason is that I like to support bands like this. Bands who are a bit undervalued.

The band's music is a mix of instrumental symphonic prog and vocals driven neo-prog. The music is therefore a mix of the two strands of this band. A band who has released both instrumental prog albums and vocals driven neo-prog albums. 

This three quarters of an hour long album also visits the RPI genre too on a frequent basis and is their most RPI like album.

The vocals is good and the and does their best on some very melodic music. There are still some good details here and the various twists and turns makes this an interesting album.

The end result is a good album who should interest both RPI and neo-prog fans.

3 points
