The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a duo with a lineup of drums and synths.
The band got help from numerous guests who added bass, guitars, viola, violin and vocals.
I reviewed their self-titled 2020 debut album earlier this month and was not too impressed. Their blend of prog, hard rock and heavy metal did not have good enough songs to impress me.
The band returned five years later with this album called Boom. A three quarters of an hour long album.
The music here is a blend of heavy metal, neo-prog, folk rock and AOR.
All of this comes with some good English vocals and some good musicianship. The sound is good throughout. There are even some synths generated bagpipes. This on a keltic folk rock song which is very different from the other songs.
This is indeed an album of different sounding songs. This album, this band is kicking in all directions. Not all the kicking hits home as there are some substandard songs here. The heavy metal parts is pretty bad too.
This is not a bad album. It is somewhere between decent and good. It is an album well worth checking out.
