The third album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, sitar, oud, synths, saxophones, flute and vocals.
Their first two albums, both reviewed in this blog, were two good albums. So I was happy to proceed with a review of their third album too.
Chaotic Divine is just over one hour long and the band is again blending space rock with metal.
There is less stoner rock and more post-metal in this blend this time around.
The use of oud, sitar, flute and saxophone is adding a lot of colours to their sound. In particular their use of saxophones.
The vocals are fashionably mixed to the back of the mix. Vocals who does their job and is perfect for this music.
Some of the music feels a bit stale. I get the feeling that the band is running on fumes on parts of this album. This is by no means their finest hour. Some of the music is indeed good... but not all of it. Hence...
2.5 points
