Orion - The End of Suffering (2023)

The debut album from this band from Great Britain.

Orion is Ben Jones on drums, bass, guitars, keyboard and vocals.

He has so far released two albums through Bandcamp under this name. A review of the latest album will be posted sometimes later this week.

His music is the labour of love and he has been working on the pieces of music for the last twenty years. Pieces of music who later became this album and the second album. Bandcamp has made releasing your dreams a lot cheaper than before.... Thanfully !

The music is a crossover between hard prog and neo-prog. There is also some classic rock here.

The vocals are pretty good. There are some very good guitar solos here.

The music on this one hour long album is both muscular and pretty epic. 

The music is also pretty melodic too. It is too muscular and hard to be labeled a melodic prog album... still.. Ben writes good melodies.

The result is a good album from a pretty much underrated band and composer. Ben Jones deserve a lot of praise for this album.
