The third album from this band from Ukraine.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, viola, piano, keyboards and vocals.
A handful of guests added guitars, violin, cello and vocals.
The band returned again afther their 2017 album Son. An album I reviewed earlier this month in this blog.
The Son album, and indeed their 2009 debut album Elehia too, was a good album indeed.
Their music on this fifty minutes long album is a dark blend of art-rock and Ukrainian folk-rock. There are some symphonic prog influences here too.
The music is a bit gloomy. It has been written in a war-torn country and the vocals are in their local Ukraine language. Male vocals and they are a bit operatic and great.
There are some strings here who brings the Ukraine folk rock to the fore here and gives the music a strong local flavour. This band is indeed an Ukraine band and the mid-tempo compositions, songs, here reflect their nationality.
The death metal vocals on one of the tracks adds some good colours to that song and this album.
The result is a good album and one to check out. I really likes this album but I wish they could release albums on a more frequent basis. Then again, releasing albums and music is very understandable not the first priority these days for the people in Ukraine.
