Cosmic Cathedral - Deep Water (2025)

 

The debut album from this band from USA.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Some guests added woodwinds, strings and female backing vocals.

This is another band from Neal Morse. This time, he has teamed up with some veterans from the scene, including the drummer Chester Thompson. The two other members are Phil Keaggy and Byron House.

New band... same stuff.

Yes, the music on this seventy-two minutes long album is US symphonic prog in the vein of Neal Morse's solo albums. The prog solo albums, that is. Not the praise albums.

The lyrics is very Christian and preaching. The music is still melodic symphonic prog. The music is also very slick and not particular complex.

The quality is good, barely good. This is still a good album. I still feel Neal Morse should consider renewing his music and then add some fresh blood into a body which is now running on fumes. He is better than this album... far better.
