PAINTING ON GLASS

A very original release. With this album, the band have departed from the doomy sound of their debut, exploring new musical directions. The album contains a lot more instrumentals, ranging from the bright soundscapes "White waters" - "Aurora australis" to the dark "Azure" (an incredible song worth listening in loop for a memorable experience). "Commemoration" is probably the song that would best describe the album and future musical direction of the band. Although this album contains most of my favorite songs from The 3rd and the Mortal ("Veiled exposure", "Vavonia", "Horizons"), it is a bit too experimental for my taste.

Rating: 79/100
