ZODIAC

Dutch project GLORIOUS WOLF is the creative vehicle of composer and musician Ruud Dielen, formed as a creative outlet following a number of years being a musician in various cover and tribute bands. As Glorious Wolf he has two albums to his name. The first album, "Aquarius", was released in 2017, while "Zodiac" was self-released in the fall of 2019.

Glorious Wolf's second album "Zodiac" strikes me as a hit or miss affair. Those generally fond of atmospheric laden progressive rock with tie ins to later day Pink Floyd, blues and neo-progressive rock strikes me as the key audience for this album, and quite a few in that crowd will appreciate the music provided on this album. But those that require more expressive rhythms and a strong vocalist to be a part of this totality will probably find the weak points of those aspects on this album somewhat detrimental. As an album experience, this is one that merits a check prior to a potential purchase.
