It took me a few listens to appreciate the entirety of this album. It is creepy, angry, and melodic with a gothic concept to boot. The band isn’t afraid to experiment and have the capacity to do that. Who knows what will be in store for them, but I for one can’t wait to see what that is.
They take their name seriously. This album is aimed to sound like a ritual, and to keep the listeners immersed and hypnotized.
This is another one of those bands that have passed me by until now. Legend is their fifth album in just under ten years. So not only is there a back catalogue to explore, but it shouldn’t be too long before album number six. Bring it on I say because the pros far outweigh the cons on this release, so it’s thumbs up from me.
The more I played the album, the less I found I could criticise. I wonder if there will be more from this band, I certainly hope so. I also hope I get the chance to see them live. I have stopped having a bucket list of bands to see, it is never going to be empty.
January is certainly serving up some sumptuous fruits, and this is another strong contender for my AOTY 2024. In these terrible times (was it not ever thus) where news is rarely good, releases such as this sustain me. They help to hold back pessimistic thoughts and long may it continue. The song writing is sublime, the execution flawless, and the urge to play the whole thing over again is inescapable.

Haken, Leprous, Steven Wilson – three big names to headline the Romanian Festival ArtMania, held in the beautiful city of Sibiu. Quite a line up, and the rest of the bill was excellently picked as well. /Dario
Day 3 and last of Euroblast 2018. It was all in all an excellent festival, very well organized but with a couple of hiccups here and there. Other than that this is a well-oiled machine of a festival.
Day 2 at Euroblast 2018. It was a day of excellent shows and great surprises, albeit a bit monotonous during the middle.
Euroblast 2018 was my chance to visit the festival during all 3 days. This festival attracts a very diverse crowd of music enthusiasts and musicians, ranging from pop-tinged progressive rock all the way to brutal technical death metal. The important thing is that the musicians involved are on the top of the class, both musically and personally. Read more to follow my full chronicle of these 3 days full of progressive awesomeness.
