Fax Ignis - Eponymus (2016)

 

The one and only album from this band from France.

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

I got almost no information about this band. The picture of the band shows five middle-aged men. The band got a Discogs and a Facebook site. Both of them have not been updated for years. I have also emailed the band without getting any reply. 

This album is clocking in at one hour.

The music is neo-prog. There is also a lot of symphonic prog and some AOR in their music.

The sound is very good. The music is muscular and mid-tempo. There is a lot of harmonies here and some good guitars.

The male vocals are in English and they are good. The band are obviously inspired by the melodic prog scene. The music is also pretty intricate and complex. There are a lot of interesting themes and details in their music. This album is more a labour of love than anything else. It has hardly been marketed at all... which is a shame. 

The music is a bit run-of-the-mill melodic progressive rock. It is still a good album and one that should interest anyone into neo-prog.
