Jaime - Above And Beyond (2026)

 

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band was formed by five Norwegians. One of them moved from Ecuador to Norway when he was a toddler. Twenty years later, this man wrote the lyrics and the music for this one hour long album. An album about alienation and mental health. This is also a theme I know well myself.

The album starts with a bold, epic instrumental symphonic prog metal piece before we get some female vocals and then some more symphonic prog metal.

The music is epic and bold throughout. This album is not a standard prog metal album. The music is too symphonic for this to be a standard prog metal album.

The musicians does a great job. The music is pretty unique and the vocals is great.

Not all the music is great here. Nevertheless, this is a pretty unusual album and a very good one too. This album should interest both the symphonic prog and the prog metal fans. Check it out.
