Soniq Circus - Cursed Cruise (2025)

 

The third album from this band from Sweden.

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

This album includes remixed and reworked versions of some songs from their two rather long EPs Chapter I and Chapter II from 2022 and 2023. Both of them reviewed in this blog.

This is a band I really like. They are clearly a Scandinavian symphonic prog band. But they do not deliver the normal fare in this genre.

The music is a bit of a mix of neo-prog, symphonic prog and heavy prog.

It is also pretty epic too with some good vocals. Most of the music is bold and heavy too.

This album is over seventy minutes long and the quality is a bit all over the place. From some decent stuff to some good stuff.

This album is a borderline good album but it falls a bit short in this respect, I am afraid. This band is still well worth checking out.
