Lazleitt - Perpetually Under Idle Grounds (2019)

The second and so far final album from this band from USA.

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

The band continued on from their 2018 debut album On The Brink with new members. Alex Lazcano is the only original member here. The band has also expanded from being a duo to being a quintet. 

The band, make that the main writer Alex Lazcano, did not change much of the music and approach from the debut album to this album, the follow up album. We still get US neo-prog with some keltic undertones. 

The references are still Yes, Marillion, IQ and Rush. The music is a bit heavier this time around and Dream Theater too can be added as a reference.

There is a lot of guitar solos here and most of them are good to very good. The vocals too is good and the rest of the band does a good job, supporting and carrying through Alex visions and music.

The music is pretty epic and hard. It is also melodic too. 

The quality of the music and sound on this forty minutes long album is good throughout. This band is a welcome addition to the scene and these two albums is well worth checking out. I hope we will get more albums from Alex.
