The fourth and final album from this band from Finland.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Their third album, the 2013 album Never Since, was a very promising and good album with it's mix of folk rock and prog. The female vocals was very good too and that album was something to build on.
Well, the band ripped themselves apart on the follow up album.
Gone is the flutes, violin, female vocals and the folk rock. In comes some Bruce Dickinson like vocals and some Tony Iommi, the Heaven & Hell era, guitars.
The music is now hard rock with some heavy metal and progressive rock influences.
The vocals and the guitars are rather good. The songs are not really that good. The band has retreated to the grey masses of hard rock bands and is not standing out from that crowd. What was once an interesting band is just a grey, anonymous band. Ditto for this album.
This is not a bad album but I feel the band was onto something great on the previous album and that the band has simply stepped away from it all. I am disappointed, indeed.
