The second album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet here with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, programming and vocals.
I have recently got the four albums they have released under the Kyros name and will review three of them this spring. The fourth is a cover-tracks album and not the type of albums I like to review. Hence, I am bypassing that album. The two remaining reviews will be posted later this spring.
This band's self-titled 2014 debut album was released under the band name Synaesthesia. It is a great album and you can read my review in # 1 of this blog from September 2014 here.
The band returned with their new name Kyros two years later with Vox Humana, an eighty minutes long album.
The music is somewhere between neo-prog, heavy prog and progressive metal. Haken from Sweden is a very good reference for the music we can hear on this album.
The music is melodic and muscular at the same time. The music is also very epic at times. It also has some neo-classical music influences. Some of the music is also pretty poppy and catchy accessible music.
The vocals is very good and the rest of the band does a great job. The production and sound is top notch.
The result is a very good album and one to check out. I was right in 2014 when I noted that this is a top band. Something this album confirms.
3.5 points
