The second album from this band from Spain
The band was a quintet with a line-up of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
One guest added vocals.
This is the follow-up album to their 2011 opus Secrets Indoors. A good album somewhere between progressive metal and heavy prog. See my review from earlier this month.
Arthouse is clocking in at one hour.
The music here is a blend of neo-prog and pomp rock.
The music is very melodic at the beginning and it gave me some bad vibes. The music thankfully becomes slightly more muscular and complex after ten minutes. It is still fair to say that this album is very different in style from the debut album.
One of the differences here is that the music is far more symphonic, far more epic. It is symphonic but not as in symphonic prog as the symphonic bit is in the pomp rock and symphonic metal genres.
The vocals are good and the band does a good job.
The overall quality is good and this is a band I hope we will hear a lot more from in the future.
