A POETRY OF RAIN

This is my first acquaintance with Subsignal and I really don't know why it took me so long because of the sheer presence of the guitar god Markus Steffen and the incredible voice of Arno Menses (both ex-Sieges Even). Still, the connection to Sieges Even is hardly noticeable since the music is far more strightforward but equally blissful, most of the times at least. From the acoustic intro right until halfway the album, the band puts together a five-song run which is one of the best I have ever heard, crammed with heavenly melodies that will leave no living, feeling soul cold. Not saying that after that point it becomes indifferent, it's just that these songs hit me in the feels. The band clearly aims for songwriting, the amazing skills of Markus Steffen are expressed this way, too, the voice of Arno Menses is pure bliss all over and his lyrics are also very important to pay attention to. They are dubbed as a neo-prog band, but to my ears their music has shaken off its clichés, mostly the ones that emanate from the keybord styles and sounds. One of my favourite albums of 2023 so far!
