Written in Sand - Shadowpath (2022)

 

The debut album from this band from Germany.

The band is a one-man-band where Helge Megerle did the guitars, some keyboards and the vocals.

He got help from some guests who provided drums, oud, strings, piano, flutes and backing vocals.

I have had this album up for review for a long time. The lack of any informations about the band and who did what has prevented me from progressing a review. I got in touch with the band a couple of weeks ago and Helge Megerle very kindly gave me everything I needed for this long delayed review. He also kindly informed me that a new album will be released before the end of the year.

The music on this album is a mix of progressive metal, heavy prog and neo-prog. There are also some hints of both grunge and goth here.

This almost one hour long album has a good sound and the vocals is good.

The music is pretty straight forward and not particular technical or epic.

The pieces of music here, the songs, are somewhere between decent and good when it comes to it's quality. This is a more than acceptable debut album and I am looking forward to the new album.
