Synthagma - Radical Animal (2025)

 

The debut album from this band from Germany.

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

The four band members has a background from bands like Inquire and Trespass. I have reviewed both band's albums. 

This fifty minutes long album is the latest addition to the list of many new symphonic prog albums. Ditto for the band which can be added to this list too.

ELP and Ekseption are two major influences here. Add in some old baroque classical music. Johan Sebastian Bach is the main classical music influence.

Most of the music is monumental epic with some staccato rhythm figures. The sound is good throughout this album. 

There are some decent enough vocals at the end of this album. The vast majority of the album is instrumental. 

In other words, this is a proper old-style symphonic prog album. 

The quality is good throughout and fans of baroque symphonic prog should check out this album.
