The 10th album from this band from Peru.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.
Two guests added English vocals on a couple of tracks.
I was not impressed at all by their previous album, the 2023 album Lines Of Nasca. A heavy metal folk rock album and not a good one.
The band seems to have left their roots and gone for a commercial heavy metal sound again on the forty-five minutes long Cosmos.
There is a lot of Spanish vocals and South-American flutes on this album. Somehow, some of the flutes sounds like this band is an Irish folk metal band. Which is strange.... But very commercial.
There are some English vocals tracks here too, two of them, and they leaves a bad taste in the listeners mouths.
There are some folk rock here. But there are not many minutes of folk rock here. Most of the music is heavy metal, almost power metal, and the only saving grace here is the flutes. There are also a couple of pretty good songs here.
The result is a decent enough album. I very much prefer their first albums compared to their latest two albums. Go for those albums instead of this album.
