The fourth album from this band from USA.
The band was a one-man-band with Jason Denkevitz on bass, guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, keyboards, synths and electronics.
Four guests added drums, bass, violin and keyboards.
Jason continues down the path of instrumental prog metal and heavy rock on this seventy minutes long album.
The previous album, Asunder from 2015, were a pretty flowery album with lots of acoustic instruments in addition to the prevailing electric guitars.
On Passages, Jason has retreated a bit back to electric guitars based instrumental prog metal. There are still some acoustic instruments here. But most of the music is electric guitars based.
The sound is good and Jason does a good job on his guitars. The music is still decent enough but seventy minutes is too long.
Steam Theory released their fifth album Chrysalis last year and I reviewed it in February this year in # 3 of this blog. You can read the review here.
