Kingfisher Sky - Skin of the Earth (2010)

 

The second album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was a seven pieces big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards and vocals.

The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is heavy prog with female vocals.

The music is at times both muscular and heavy. 

Both the vocals and the cello are softening the music and are making a lot more melodic. More neo-prog'ish, in fact.

The music is pretty complex at times too and pretty epic.  There is indeed a lot of the symphonic elements from the neo-prog genre present on this album. Other parts of their music are more melodic, catchy and poppy.

The vocals are superb and the band does a good job on some good pieces of music.

 This is a good album which should please everyone into muscular, yet melodic progressive rock.
