The fifth album from this band from Italy.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Raven Sad is one of those non-RPI bands from Italy I really like. I have given their first four albums good reviews in # 1-3 of this blog and in ProgArchives. So I jumped on the chance to review their brand new album.
The band started out as a psych rock band and then moved on to a more art-rock territory.
The music on this one hour long album is indeed a mix of art-rock and psych rock. There is also some neo-prog influences here.
Good references are Pink Floyd and in particular Marillion. Raven Sad comes across as a crossbreed between these two bands.
The music is both flowing and elegant. The music is in mid-tempo with a lot of both keyboards and guitars. The vocals is good.
There is no real killer track on this album. Nevertheless, this is a good album and well worth checking out if you like Marillion and art-rock.
