𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗦 – 𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡 𝗜𝗧𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙

Sleeping With Sirens have spent the better part of fifteen years balancing chaos and catharsis, evolving from Warped Tour darlings into one of modern alternative rock’s most enduring acts. With An Ending In Itself, their eighth studio album and first release on Rise Records since Feel, the band doesn’t simply revisit the past—it reclaims it. Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Circa Survive, Movements), the record serves as both a reflection on the battles they’ve endured and a celebration of the resilience that’s kept them moving forward. The result is a powerful, emotionally charged collection that bridges the gap between the band’s post-hardcore roots and the more mature songwriting they’ve cultivated over the last decade.

From the opening title track, Sleeping With Sirens establishes the album’s central theme: survival. "An Ending In Itself" is more than just a lead single; it’s a mission statement. Built around soaring melodies, crushing guitars, and one of Kellin Quinn’s most heartfelt vocal performances in years, the song tackles mental health struggles with honesty and compassion. Rather than wallowing in despair, it offers reassurance and hope, setting the emotional tone for everything that follows.

"Forever/Always" immediately follows with a more uplifting energy, embracing the importance of friendship and the human connection. Its nostalgic mid-2000s alternative influences feel deliberate, evoking memories of the era that first brought the band to prominence. The track’s massive chorus feels tailor-made for festival crowds, yet its message remains intimate and sincere.

The album’s middle section is where An Ending In Itself truly shines. You get the trio of tracks like "God In My Head," "Need You Here," and "Left On Repeat" that delve into anxiety, loneliness, and emotional dependency with remarkable vulnerability. Quinn’s lyrics never overcomplicate their message; instead, they rely on relatable emotions and vivid imagery that connect immediately. "House Of Matches" and "Waiting For You" continue this trend, balancing explosive instrumentation with deeply personal storytelling. Musically, all five of these tracks have their own very distinct sound.

Perhaps the album’s most thrilling moment arrives with the album’s most recent single, "Paralyzed." As promised, it is one of the heaviest songs Sleeping With Sirens has released in years. Drawing clear inspiration from bands such as Thrice, The Used, and Haste the Day, the track unleashes aggressive riffs, thunderous drumming, and raw emotion. Yet even amid the chaos, the band’s gift for melody remains intact. It’s a reminder that their heavier instincts never disappeared—they simply evolved.

The final stretch of the record continues to showcase the band’s growth as songwriters. The tracks "Process" and "PTSD" confront trauma and healing with unflinching honesty, while "Looking Back At Me" is one of the album’s most sombre tracks, and it examines self-reflection without succumbing to nostalgia. An Ending In Itself closes with its final track, "Storm Clouds," a fitting finale that blends melancholy and optimism into a sweeping conclusion. Rather than offering neat resolutions, the song acknowledges that healing is ongoing—a sentiment that perfectly encapsulates the album’s overarching message.

Instrumentally, An Ending In Itself benefits tremendously from Yip’s production. Every guitar layer feels purposeful, the rhythm section remains punchy throughout, and Quinn’s distinctive vocals sit front and center without overshadowing the rest of the band. Guitarists Nick Martin and Tony Pizzuti inject fresh energy into the arrangements, while bassist Justin Hills and drummer Matty Best provide a rock-solid foundation that allows the songs to breathe and explode when necessary.

What makes An Ending In Itself particularly compelling is its balance. It contains the angst, urgency, and massive hooks that longtime fans have been craving while embracing the emotional maturity gained through years of personal and artistic growth. The band isn’t attempting to recreate Let’s Cheers to This or With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear; instead, they’re channelling the spirit of those records through the lens of lived-in experience.

After eight albums, many bands struggle to find new ways to tell their story. Sleeping With Sirens accomplishes the rare feat of sounding both familiar and revitalized. An Ending In Itself feels like a full-circle moment—a record that honours the band’s legacy while proving they still have plenty left to say. For longtime fans, it’s a rewarding return to form. For newer listeners discovering the band amid their recent resurgence, it’s an ideal introduction to why Sleeping With Sirens continue to matter in 2026.

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗔𝗬 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗧 – 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚

There are albums that tell stories, and then there are albums that bleed them. On Harrowing, the third full-length release from Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lindsay Schoolcraft, every note feels earned through struggle, reflection, and ultimately, survival. Arriving independently on June 19, 2026, the seven-track record stands as Schoolcraft’s most vulnerable and sonically adventurous work to date, transforming personal trauma into a cathartic journey of healing.

Known for her work with Cradle of Filth and her acclaimed solo releases, Schoolcraft has always excelled at balancing beauty and darkness. However, Harrowing elevates that formula to a whole new level. Produced alongside Justin deBlieck, whose work with Motionless in White helped define modern metalcore’s cinematic edge, the album embraces heavier guitars, sharper electronic textures, and a more aggressive emotional palette while retaining the orchestral grandeur and gothic atmosphere that have become Schoolcraft’s signature.

The album’s concept is deeply personal. Framed as a chronicle of recovery from narcissistic abuse, each song represents a stage in the healing process, from recognition and grief to rage, empowerment, and release. While concept albums often risk feeling overly structured, Harrowing succeeds because the emotions never feel manufactured. Schoolcraft’s songwriting is brutally honest, allowing listeners to experience every wound and every triumph alongside her.

Opening track "Mercy Has Come" immediately establishes the record’s emotional gravity. Its combination of ethereal choirs, dramatic strings, and crushing modern metal instrumentation creates a sense of anticipation, as if the listener is standing at the threshold of a difficult but necessary reckoning. Schoolcraft’s voice remains the album’s most powerful instrument, effortlessly shifting between delicate vulnerability and commanding intensity.

That intensity reaches its peak on "Crucified," arguably the album’s defining statement. Built around religious imagery and righteous fury, the song is both a personal exorcism and a universal anthem for survivors of manipulation and abuse. The metallic edge introduced by deBlieck is especially effective here, with thunderous guitars and pounding rhythms amplifying every lyric. Schoolcraft’s anger is palpable, but it never devolves into bitterness. Instead, the track channels pain into empowerment, becoming one of the heaviest and most emotionally resonant songs of her career.

Where "Crucified" burns with fury, "Vague" retreats inward. The song’s exploration of heartbreak and emotional paralysis is elevated by Spencer Creaghan’s stunning string arrangements, which add cinematic depth without overwhelming the track’s intimate core. Schoolcraft’s performance is captivating, capturing the loneliness of watching a relationship fade while struggling to find a path forward. It’s one of the album’s most haunting moments and a reminder of her gift for marrying classical influences with contemporary alternative music.

One of the album’s most surprising highlights arrives with "I Wait For You To Fall." Drawing inspiration from late-’90s and early-2000s acts like Korn, The Prodigy, and Republica, the track injects a welcome dose of playful aggression into the record. Its fusion of nu-metal riffs, electronic industrial beats, and rocktronica textures feels nostalgic without sounding dated. Lyrically, it tackles betrayal with an almost sarcastic smirk, offering a refreshing contrast to the album’s heavier emotional themes.

"Cut Your Teeth" and "So Alive" continue the record’s momentum while showcasing Schoolcraft’s willingness to experiment. The latter receives an added boost from guest vocalist Krista Shipperbottom (ex-Lutharo), whose harsh vocals provide a compelling counterpoint to Schoolcraft’s soaring melodies. The dynamic interplay between beauty and brutality encapsulates the album’s central themes perfectly: strength forged through suffering.

By the time the closing number, "Chase The Dark," arrives, Harrowing has completed its emotional arc. Rather than ending in despair, the album concludes with a sense of hard-earned freedom. The darkness remains present, but it no longer controls the overarching narrative. Schoolcraft emerges not as a victim of her experiences but as someone who has confronted them head-on and found a way forward.

What makes Harrowing particularly impressive is its balance. The album incorporates elements of metalcore, nu metal, gothic rock, orchestral music, electronic experimentation, and alternative metal without ever feeling disjointed anywhere along its seven tracks. Schoolcraft’s voice serves as the connective tissue throughout, guiding listeners through an ever-shifting landscape of sounds and emotions. The contributions from Rocky Gray, Spencer Creaghan, Brian Cook, guitarist Cody Johnstone, and drummer Dylan Gowan further enrich the album’s sonic diversity, creating a record that feels expansive despite its concise runtime.

For longtime fans, Harrowing represents a bold evolution from the foundations laid on Martyr. For newcomers, it serves as a compelling introduction to an artist unafraid to transform her deepest scars into art. It’s an album that confronts difficult subjects with courage, honesty, and remarkable musical ambition.

In a genre often fueled by pain, Harrowing stands out because it refuses to romanticize suffering. Instead, it acknowledges the damage, processes the grief, and ultimately chooses healing. That journey makes this not only Lindsay Schoolcraft’s most personal album but arguably her most powerful.

𝗗𝗜 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗞 𝗞𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗨 𝗪𝗔𝗞𝗧𝗨 𝗬𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗞𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗠

𝗕𝗮𝗯 𝗜: 𝗙𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘂𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝘂

("This Time Is Start To Find Another Day… This Day Is Born I Feel A Time So Long")

Hatta, tatkala sang fajar menyingsing di ufuk timur, ia tidak membawa kehangatan yang dinanti, melainkan sebuah titah yang kejam dari sang waktu. Waktu telah tiba, aduhai diri yang malang, untuk memutar haluan perahu dan mencari hari yang baru. Tiada lagi guna meratapi malam yang telah larut, sebab hari ini menuntut daku untuk memburu air mata yang lain—air mata yang mungkin akan tumpah di tanah yang asing.

Hari yang baru ini telah lahir, namun mengapa rasanya begitu melelahkan? Setiap detiknya merayap laksana seabad lamanya, menghimpit dada yang kian sesak. Langkah kaki ini dipaksa untuk meretas jalan yang lain, meninggalkan jalan lama yang telah usai kita tapaki bersama. Sungguh, sebuah kelahiran hari yang dirayakan dengan kesayuan jiwa yang teramat dalam.

𝗕𝗮𝗯 𝗜𝗜: 𝗞𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗶𝘄𝗮 𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗿

("This World Is Open To All Something New… This Heart Is Breath I Feel My Mind So Strong")

Dunia di luar sana konon membentang luas, membuka pintunya lebar-lebar bagi segala hal yang baru. Ia menggamit siapa saja yang sudi datang, menjanjikan kebebasan bagi jiwa-jiwa yang selama ini terkungkung dalam sangkar lara.

"Namun, apalah arti kebebasan itu bagi seorang musafir yang kehilangan arah?"

Di tengah keriuhan dunia yang baru itu, jantung ini berdegup kencang, bagai dibakar oleh api kerinduan yang menyala-nyala. Dalam kehangatan yang menyiksa itu, sukmaku melambungkan doa-doa ke angkasa, memohon ketabahan yang tiada bertepi. Meskipun raga ini limbung, namun di dalam rongga dada yang bergolak, kurasakan pikiranku kian meneguh. Hati ini masih bernapas, menolak untuk mati sebelum masanya tiba.

𝗕𝗮𝗯 𝗜𝗜𝗜: 𝗗𝗲𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗵𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗶 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺

("Hold Tonight Stay With Me Don’t Go Faraway… Leave All We Will Be Fly")

Maka, duhai jiwaku, kutautkan jemariku pada seulas malam ini. Dengarlah permintaanku yang terakhir: dekaplah malam ini erat-erat, janganlah engkau melangkah terlalu jauh dariku. Mari kita bagi momen yang singkat ini dalam kesunyian, dan kuingatkan kepadamu, usahlah ada air mata yang jatuh menitik di atas kain sutera itu.

Ada satu alasan yang tersimpan rapat di dasar hatimu, yang tak pernah engkau ucapkan dengan lisan, namun dapat terbaca oleh mataku yang lara. Biarlah malam ini menjadi saksi; mari kita tinggalkan segala beban duniawi, segala lara yang menggelayuti pundak. Bersama-sama, dalam khayalan yang fana, kita kan terbang tinggi menembus awan, terlepas dari belenggu takdir yang memisahkan.

𝗕𝗮𝗯 𝗜𝗩: 𝗞𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗹𝘂 𝗖𝗲𝗽𝗮𝘁

("Another Time Is Stop To Kill The Day… Another Day Is Die So Fast I Feel")

Akan tetapi, impian itu lebur seketika tatkala waktu yang lain datang merenggut paksa. Waktu seolah berhenti hanya untuk membunuh sisa hari yang indah. Air mata yang tadi tertahan, kini dilepaskan tanpa ampun. Tiada lagi jalan yang perlu dicari, sebab segala jalan telah buntu, tertutup oleh dinding takdir yang angkuh.

Betapa cepatnya hari itu mati! Ia luruh bagai kelopak bunga yang diguyur hujan badai sebelum sempat mekar dengan sempurna. Kepergian hari itu menyisakan rasa hampa yang luar biasa di dalam dada. Aku tertegun dalam sepi, merasakan betapa fanyanya kebahagiaan yang baru saja kukecup sedetik yang lalu.

𝗕𝗮𝗯 𝗩: 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘆𝗶 𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗵

("Another World Is Closed For All The Old… Another Heart Is Fall A Hope Go Away")

Kini, terbukalah gerbang dunia yang lain—sebuah dunia yang tertutup rapat bagi segala kenangan lama. Bagi jiwa yang mendamba kebebasan, dunia ini tak ubahnya seperti penjara yang dingin dan berjeruji besi tak kasat mata. Segala yang bebas kini terkunci, termasuk angan-angan kita yang dahulu terbang melambung tinggi.

Aduhai, hati yang lain kini telah membeku. Sukma yang dahulu hangat, kini patah menjadi serpihan-serpihan kecil yang tak mungkin bertaut kembali. Harapan yang selama ini dipupuk dengan air mata kini telah gugur dan terbang terbawa angin lalu, pergi menjauh entah ke mana. Yang tersisa hanyalah sekujur badan yang kaku, meratapi cinta yang telah karam di dasar lubuk hati yang paling kelam.COLDERRA – Desire

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 – 𝗛𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗔

The Tunisian band Primordial Black, following their successful debut “Dark Matter Manifesto”, release their second full-length album, “Heterotopia”. Yasser Mahammedi Bouzina (vocals), joined by Walid Chaaben (guitars) and Selim Bouladi (drums), builds a dark edifice of atmospheric extreme metal, where black metal passages coexist with ritualistic, slow-drawn parts, lyrically framed by references to the occult and philosophy. The guitar and drums bind naturally within this mystical journey, which is also strengthened by the outstanding work of session bassist Walter Rebouna, who gives this excellent musical work the depth and weight it needs.

The album opens with a chilling and harrowing intro, “Caos Guidato”, which foreshadows what is about to follow and defines the musical identity of the record. The next track, “Ruines Suspendues”, is marked by its direct black metal roots and is also the band’s first single. The half-collapsed ruins referenced in the title set the tone for the way the band sees the world around them. “Heterotopia”, through its introduction, its main body and its Greek title, points toward Deathspell Omega, one of the band’s apparent main influences, alongside Rotting Christ and other groups. The guitars enter at high speed, but the track soon shifts into atmospheric, mid-tempo parts. In “Mater Suspiriorum”, the fast parts alternate with slow, drawn-out melodies that fit perfectly with the pain carried by Yasser’s distinctive vocals. The clean vocals somewhere around the middle of the track create a strange contrast, while the song also includes one of the most magical moments of the whole album: the solo that closes “Mater Suspiriorum”, a magical, inspired guitar creation full of Pink Floyd references by Karim Bouazra, a musicologist with deep knowledge of Progressive Metal and Dream Theater’s music. In the Black Metal storm of “Immaculate”, death metal legend Steve DiGiorgio appears as a guest and gives his own touch to this “Immaculate” creation by Primordial Black. In “Begotten”, as in all the previous tracks, the avant-garde and industrial elements play a significant role, fitting flawlessly into the Black/Dark Metal foundation. Especially in the second half of “Begotten”, a very emotional saxophone solo appears, while the keyboards help create the cinematic atmosphere that runs through the entire record. Camilia Bayazi appears here as a guest. In the equally cinematic “Gorrister”, with its recorded parts, the listener moves deeper and deeper into the world of “Heterotopia”, while the album closes with the almost XNUMX-minute “Le Horia”, featuring Gianluca Morelli. It is perhaps the track with the strongest avant-garde elements and industrial passages, with the guitar creating chaotic textures, as though it wants to build a new world over “Caos Guidato”.

The subject matter of the tracks spills into occult and philosophical territory. A clear example is the title track itself, which takes its name from Michel Foucault’s neologism and refers to a place where difference prevails, a place that exists outside conventional social norms. “Mater Suspiriorum” (“Mother of Sighs”) is based on Thomas De Quincey’s 1845 work “Suspiria de Profundis”, which was later adapted by Dario Argento in his horror trilogy: “Mater Suspiriorum” (“Mother of Sighs”), “Mater Tenebrarum” (“Mother of Darkness”) and “Mater Lacrymarum” (“Mother of Tears”), with “Mater Lacrymarum” also appearing as a title on their debut album “Dark Matter Manifesto”. Finally, another characteristic example of the thematic world of “Heterotopia” is “Gorrister”. Gorrister is a character from Harlan Ellison’s prophetic dystopian short story “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”, published in 1967. In the story, Gorrister is one of the five survivors eternally tortured by the malicious AI “AM”.

Ultimately, “Heterotopia” really does come from another world. It is a blend of avant-garde and industrial elements with a genuine black metal background, steeped in occultism and philosophy. It is the natural evolution of their previous album, confirming the uniqueness of Primordial Black’s sound and now placing them among the most influential bands in the scene.

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗨𝗜𝗡𝗦 – 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗢𝗦

AmongRuins are one of the best Greek melodeath bands right now and, with their new album, “Advent of Chaos”, they justify that description. Beyond the very clean production and dynamic guitar tone, the album treats us to some very good songs.

The album’s opening track, "Frozen to the Core", , starts with a haunting and melancholic melody, building tension before the first riff comes in with force, a riff that throws you against the wall before the vocals kick in. The vocals sound noticeably better than they did on the previous album. The lyrics are equally melancholic, as is vocalist Sverd’s delivery, while symphonic elements are used behind the chorus. The song closes with an equally haunting guitar solo.

The album continues with the track “Advent of Chaos”, the title track, with some incredible riffs that blend beautifully with piano, which, truth be told, I was not expecting. Then, in the chorus, some beautiful clean vocals come in. The track also shows the drummer’s talent, with the double kicks giving the song the necessary power and helping the album continue strongly.

In a similar vein to the previous tracks comes the album’s lead single, “Red Divine”, which becomes a little repetitive in places, with a style that brings At the Gates and Children of Bodom to mind. The best thing about this track is by far the guitars, which tear through the whole song.

The fourth track, “Into the Flame”, also features Christinna from Elysion, who, after the opening riff, opens the song with a stunning alto voice. Vocally, she recalls Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil and, together with the melodic elements of the track, creates a beautiful atmosphere.

“Symphony of Loss” is a personal highlight of the album, as it combines beautifully sad lyrics with a melodically angry musical section. Greek lyrics also appear in this particular song, a pleasant touch for Greek listeners.

The next track, “Open Wounds”, is quite distinctive and beautiful, perhaps the most emotionally heavy song on the album, with a wonderful intro and an unbearable feeling of despair. The solo is also melancholic and dark, and it fits the overall mood of the song.

Before the album reaches its end, we get “Chained”, which is quite reminiscent of bands such as Lamb of God and Gojira, but it does not particularly stand out, in the sense that it does not differ much from the rest of the album’s tracks. And the final song, “Night Mother”, has similar energy to the rest of the album up to the middle, with an interesting middle section and a melodic outro, but, like the previous track, nothing impressive. The truth is that I was expecting something more impressive for the final song on this album. It is not bad, it just does not differ much from the rest.

In general, the album is a very good version of AmongRuins. A nice melodeath album, although for someone who listens to this genre a lot, certain tracks may seem a little predictable, while some specific songs stand out more.

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗬 – 𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘

So many things can be said about EVERGREY regarding just how good they are musically, but for me it comes down to this, they are Masters of their craft. To produce album after album for the guts of 30 years and remain fresh, innovative and sound like it all just comes so easily to them. ‘Architects Of A New Weave‘ is the 15th studio album and eleven songs on offer deliver such power, an epic feel and stories that breath for themselves.

The themes involved in their music are so often formed from the depths of despair and the darkness around people, yet the music they create for me personally can very often be so uplifting, always powerful and thought provoking. And the songs on this album are no different.

There is no filler here, no duds, songs that drag you back for more and something I’ve always loved about Evergrey is that you have to go back to songs over and over again to hear things for the first time through the different layers of the music. One song I find very interesting on this album is ‘Leaving The Emptiness’ which has such an upbeat tempo and feel to it. Very different, almost a pop style which belies the lyrics and story of the song, but it sounds great. It’s really pointless to pick out favourite songs on this one, you need to listen to the album over time and different songs raise the heartbeat as you listen more. At the moment the brilliant ‘The World’s On Fire’, ‘A Burning Flame’ that features another exceptional singer in Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility) and cuts and chops across melodies with so many layers weaved in the background, it’s a cracking song. The album closer ‘The Prophecy’ is a beast of a song which at it’s most powerful is just piano and Tom’s vocal power, it’s beautiful.

All of the music is exceptional throughout on top of which Tom’s vocals are just perfect. There is no doubt this album will be stuck on repeat for me for a long time and will return to the player over and over. So far this is my album of the year and it will have to be something very special indeed to knock it off that spot. Thank you once again EVERGREY for always delivering and always striving to bring something different, bring light to the darkness and create brilliant music.

For me the most consistent band in Meta/Rock of any genre, the compositions are stunning and they have an ability to be able to transport you into the songs story, nothing short of magical. It may be album number 15 but the quality never drops, another brilliant creation and I can’t wait to hear some of these songs live. If you like Progressive Metal this is a must. Live with and love this one as I am doing.
