Rolf Zero - Satanika (2023)

 

The fifth album from this band from Australia.

The band was a trio on this album with a lineup of didgeridoo, percussion, drums, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, accordion, harmonica and flute.

This is their fifth album in a matter of a couple of years and the second album of three albums the band released that year. 

None of their albums has been anywhere near impressive.... or even good.

This album clocks in at three quarters of an hour and we get the usual blend of cinematic rock and Camel like symphonic prog.

I have absolute no idea why the band has named this album Satanika. There are some sporadic guitar riffs here. But satanic ? Nope. This album is as satanic as a newborn kangaroo. The trading standard offices should fine this band because of the gross misleading packaging of the music here.

Besides of these very sporadic guitar riffs, there is some accordion, steel guitars, flutes and lots of synths here.

The music is pretty unassuming and unremarkable. It is also pretty decent too. This album is a small improvement on the Tsunami album. It is still not an album I would recommend.
