GLORIA

Wow what a piece of work! As a huge fan of the brilliant 'Back To Times Of Splendor' i was highly anticipating this and anxious to hear what this trio could follow up and have been floored by an absolute progressive metal masterpiece!! Bringing the same metal grooves and hooks from the previous album and mixing with industrial, electro beats, funk, dance, goth, pop jazz you name it there is just so much on offer. A far departure to their previous effort there are still many elements of the crushing riffing and heaviness displayed throughout, the vocals range in various styles and effects and the mixture of heavy rythyms with samples and beats are just amazing, each track has it's own identity on this concept album. It's a pity this album will be dismissed by a lot of fans that just dont get that this band is truly 'Progressive', but as the album needs time to reveal it's brilliance i hope with a few spins it wins people over. As their promo material said, this isn't for cowards, so get ready for a journey. Progressive Metal album of 2006 handsdown and a worthy addition to anyone's collection.
