SEVEN WIDOWS

I was introduced to the music of Believe when I listened to Hope To See Another Day and Yesterday Is A Friend many years ago. I haven't felt that the band has achieved the heights of those two fine albums until the release of VII Widows. This album has strong melodies that develop nicely within longish tracks (none less than eight minutes long). Neo-prog and art rock influences mean that the band is at the lighter end of prog but Believe remains as one of the strongest of the many excellent Polish prog artists and VII Widows is a return to form and worthy of a four star rating.
