Lux Terminus - Cinder (2025)

 

The second album from this band from USA.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass and keyboards.

A handful of guests added guitars, keyboards, saxophones, flutes and vocals.

The band returned again, seven years after the release of their debut album The Courage To Be. That was a good album somewhere between cinematic rock, fusion and neo-prog.

The fifty minutes long Cinder is the follow up album and we get more of the same.

Take cinematic rock and blend it with some fusion, progressive metal and bold US symphonic prog.  

The music is hard and heavy. But it is never ever a metal production or album. The cinematic rock aspect is always on the forefront of their music.

The music is bold and epic. This band does not do modesty. 

Most of the music is instrumental. There are some vocals here. They work more as instruments than anything else.

The overall quality is good and this album is well worth checking out.
