Subspace Radio - Dreams of Shapes and Forms (2025)

 

The fourth album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Three guests added backing vocals.  

I have yet to sample their first two albums. However, I did review their third album Aika (2022) back in September 2022 for # 3 of this blog. A good album, it was.

The band returned again this year with this one hour long album.

The music on this album is a lot heavier than the music on Aika. 

The music is a blend of progressive metal and heavy prog. References are Leprous, Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. The music is a blend of those three bands.

The music is also very heavy at times and is straying into heavy metal territory on a regular basis.  

The music is pretty varied and full of interesting details. 

There is a lot of good themes here. Both the sound and vocals is good.  

That makes for a good album and that is exactly what this album is. Fans of progressive metal should check out this album.
