I have a little problem with this Glow from Countless Skies. I love the music it includes, but I always notice a lack of originality that prevents me from enjoying the album as much as I should.

Because let's face it: Glow sounds like the bastard brother of Devin Townsend (Tempest, Summit, Moon), mixed with influences from Opeth (Glow - Part 1) and with pieces of Amorphis (some parts of Zephyr and Glow - Part 2) and some other bands.

However, and despite the wonderful compositional work behind all the songs of the album, I miss the authentic personality of this band beyond its influences. Maybe in their next work?

In any case, if you like the groups named above (especially Devin Townsend and Amorphis), you will surely enjoy this Glow!

Best Tracks: Tempest, Summit and Zephyr.

My Rating: ***
