Haven Of Echoes - Memento Vivere (2024)

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, electric harp, keyboards, electronics and vocals.

This band is the cooperation between a member from the extreme metal band Spires and the neo-prog band Frequency Drift. I know Frequency Drift but not Spires.

I also have yet to get a copy of Haven of Echoes debut album from 2022 but I am working on the case.

The music here is totally different from Spires but still in the same area as Frequency Drift.

The music is a mix of melancholic neo-prog, the Polish band Believe is a good reference, and art-rock in the vein of Marillion. Take some Tears For Fears, first two albums, and some Pink Floyd.

The music is a mix of mid-tempo and slow pastoral. The vocals is great and is fitting this melancholic music.

The music is bordering to being too sweet at the times. But it never really crosses this border.

The music is very good throughout these fifty minutes and I am pretty sure this album will figure on a lot of best-album of the year lists. Check out this album.

3.5 points
