Qumma Connection - Equilibrium (2022)

 

The fifth album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, Warr guitar, Chapman stick, organ, keyboards and programming.

Their albums so far has been pretty eclectic to say at least. This from a band I thought was a neo-prog when I started reviewing their albums, based on their label as a neo-prog band in ProgArchives. 

There is not a second of neo-prog in their music.

The music on this one hour long album is cinematic rock with some strong eclectic prog and some lesser strong fusion and Finnish folk music influences.

The music is driven forward by guitars and keyboards. It is mid-tempo throughout.  

The music is a bit run-of-the-mill like and does not offer up a lot of exciting details and themes. It has a bit of a Scandinavian ambience and that is giving this album a bit of an identity.

This is a decent album and by far not their finest moment.
