Foundation. The - Mask (2023)

 

The debut album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was a ten man big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, ebow, violin, keyboards, flute and vocals.

This band should not be confused with the older Swedish band with the same name. This Dutch band has so far released two albums and I suspect this is more a studio project than a proper band. It has members from other Dutch bands like Knight Area and Odyssice. 

The music on this fifty minutes long album is epic, symphonic prog influenced neo-prog. Dutch neo-prog, that is.

The music is bold and epic. It still has a lot of interesting details and melodies.

The vocals is good and the band does a good job.

This is indeed a good album. It is a debut album which showcases this band/project as a very talented entity. I will try to get their new album and then review it as soon as I can.
