Monkey3 - Astra Symmetry (2016)

 

The fifth album from this band from Switzerland.

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

A guest did vocals on one track.

The band returned again after a three years long album break.

Astra Symmetry is a seventy minutes long album. 

The band has changed a lot during this break. The have for a start got some vocals. Some good vocals.

The music is more space rock and hard rock than before. Classic hard rock in the vein of Led Zeppelin combined with outer space rock and a lot of krautrock too. There is even some raga-rock from India influences here.

The music is both eclectic and pretty hard too. It has a lot of good melodies too and the new style is really suiting this band.

The music feels a lot fresher this time and this album feels like a new start of the band.

The quality is good throughout and this is their best album up to this point.  

3 points
