Darwin - Five Steps on the Sun (2024)

 

The third album from this band from Great Britain. 

The band was a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion and guitars.

Numerous guests added bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band continues on with their science fiction neo-prog on this three quarters of an hour long album.

What really strikes me on this album, even after several listenings, is that the music has moved a lot closer to the first three King's X albums. Both the vocals from Matt Bissonette and the music in general are very much in that vein.

That is very pleasing to the ears of a King's X fan. 

There is a lot of very good guitar solos and guitar harmonies here. Ditto for vocals and vocal harmonies.

The songs are good throughout and the King's X influences elevates this album to another level again.

This is their finest effort and I am really looking forward to hearing their new album.

3.5 points
