The third album from this band from Norway.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, baritone horn and vocals.
A guest added some vocals to this album.
This is a band I have always liked a lot. I gave their first two album from 2017 and 2019 good ratings in # 2 of this blog.
Those two album had the likes of Genesis, Arena, IQ, Pendragon and Magic Pie as good references.
The same can be said about their new album too. The album has two suites, twenty odd minutes each which gives us a total running time of three quarters of an hour.
The music is monumental, epic, muscular and melodic at the same time. The music is not particular heavy despite of having some bombastic pieces of music. The music is bombastic as in symphonic.... symphonic prog.
The two tracks are clearly concept based with some narrations and some very good vocals.
The result is a very good album which will appeal to most neo-prog and symphonic prog fans. This album will indeed confirm this band's place among the best Norwegian prog rock bands.
Check out this album.
