Mindfar - The Dark Tower (2017)

 

The debut album from this band from Italy.

This was a one-man-band where Walter Bosello did all the instruments, bass, guitars, keyboards, vocals and probably programmed drums.

A female vocalist added female vocals here.

Walter Bosello has released two albums under this name through Bandcamp and I got both of them up for review this month.

This almost one hour long album is a concept album, a rock opera indeed. It is based on some Stephen King novels.

The music is a blend of hard rock, heavy metal and goth rock.

The vocals are all in English, heavy accented English that is. Both male and female vocals are pretty poor. 

The music is guitars and vocals based with some occasional keyboards on the top of these again. The rhythm section is very poor. The guitars are decent enough.

There are some decent pieces of music here. OK, I am a bit kind here. The ambitions and the concept behind this album is far higher than the abilities to create a good album. It is only a half decent album and a borderline turkey. It is an album best bypassed and ignored.
