Sunhillow - II (2025)

 

The second album from this band from Finland.

The band was a sextet on this album with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards and vocals.

This is the follow up to their 2020 debut album Eloise Borealis. That was a good album. The band released a single in 2022 called The Beast From The East and that song is opening this album.

The album is a bit short... half an hour long.

The music is again a mix of good old Finnish progressive rock and fusion from the 1970s and their local folk music/rock.

The music is very much retro rock. The vocals are good and the band does a good job.

The above mentioned song are the best piece of music here. A good, catchy song. Some of the pieces of music is not up to the requested standard. Hence... this album is a bit of a disappointment. Nevertheless, fans of retro progressive rock and the Finnish/Scandinavian scene should pick up this album.

2.5 points
