The second album from this band from The Netherlands.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, harp, keyboards and vocals.
This album is their latest and probably their final ever album.
I reviewed their 2010 debut album Noah some days ago and was not particularly impressed by that rock-opera. A decent enough album.
Fringe Kitchen is clocking in at fifty-five minutes and the music is progressive metal.
The music is more melodic than hard & heavy.
There is some hard metal here but most of the music is more in the Dutch neo-prog genre than progressive metal. The music wanders of in various directions and is pretty adventurous. The music is not run-of-the-mill progressive metal & neo-prog.
There are some good stuff here. The vocals are pretty good but there are some pieces of music here that fall well short of the target. This is therefore a pretty good album from a pretty obscure band.
2.5 points
