The fifth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band returned again after their very good 2013 album Coal. That album was their best to that date.
The Congregation clocks in at seventy-one minutes (including a bonus track) and sees the band branching out into their own world. They are almost like their own scene.
The music is somewhere between extreme metal, progressive metal and rock opera.
Einar Solberg's vocals is brilliant and they floats on the top of some incredible heavy and complex pieces of music. It is like math rock at times, just so much heavier.
The music is still pretty melodic with some good to very good themes and riffs.
This album is not easy listening my any means. The music comes as an unrelenting attack on the listener.
The quality is still pretty high and at the level of being a good collection of music... a good album in other words. This band is one of the most interesting bands in the progressive metal scene now and this album should be checked out.
