Presence - Them (2024)

 

The seventh album from this band from Italy.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths and vocals.

The band returned after an eight years long break. 

Their last album Masters And Following was a decent enough heavy metal themed album with several cover versions inbetween their own material. I was not impressed and wrote so in my review posted earlier this month.

The band has changed course again on the seventy minutes long Them. 

The music here is cinematic, theatrical rock with some goth, neo-classical music and symphonic prog influences.

The music is pretty heavy at times and has some heavy metal guitars now and then. Most of the music is not that heavy though. The music is pretty symphonic and is again being carried by Sophya Baccini's excellent vocals. 

The quality is somewhere between decent and good. Somehow, the art of composing great or even good music is evading this band. Sorry...
