The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds and vocals.
I did not expect to hear anything more from this band after reviewing their 2014 debut album Shipwreck in # 1 of this blog back in November the same year, 2014. That album was a rock opera sounding album. Maybe it was a rock opera too.
So the band returned again, eleven years later, with the fifty minutes long album.
The music has changed, though. We get some darkened psych rock here. Add in some heavy prog too and you get my drift. The vocals are still in English as on their debut album.
There are some melodic parts here too. But the dominant factor on this album is the dark vocals and they are not good. The guitars too is a bit questionable.
The songs are rather forgetable and is sorely lacking in quality. This album is in quality and style far removed from their debut album. It is almost like we are talking about two different bands here... and we problably are, taking the eleven years old gap into consideration.
The result is only a half-decent album which falls short of any acceptable standards. Check out their debut album instead.
