The first of four albums in this series of albums from this artist from The Netherlands.
Christiaan Bruin did the percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals here.
He had help from some guests who added violin, cello, flugelhorn, trumpet and flute.
Christiaan Bruin has released albums under the name of Chris, The Black Codex, Invention and his own name. I have reviewed the Invention and the Chris albums in both the previous editions of this blog and in ProgArchives.
I will review the four The Black Codex albums within the next two - four weeks.
This album clocks in at ninety-five minutes.
The music here is a blend of neo-classical music and symphonic prog. There are also a lot of folk rock influences here.
The music is both epic, melodic and symphonic. There are also some very good vocals here too.
Ninety minutes is long and not everything is up to a high standard. This is still a good album and one to check out if modern epic symphonic prog is your cup of tea.
