TRANSBOHEM

While perhaps not an album with a vast and broad appeal, those who enjoy a band that blends traditions from Eastern and Western music should find this album to be an interesting one, and then in particular those who fancy a wee bit of the Ozrics and a liberal amount of metal-oriented riffs and guitar soloing thrown into the mix for good measure.

For just over half an hour this French band does a good job of transporting its listeners into a realm and a world where it is easy to envision the use of magic amidst mysterious and alluring locations, ranging from mellow ambient to harder edged metal in style, and with an obvious world music influence as the main theme throughout. The end result might be described as atmospheric progressive metal, and if that alongside a distinct mystical mood sounds alluring then this is a disc that probably will appeal.
