DWELLERS OF THE DEEP

One of Symphonic Rock Emperors WOBBLER have come back to our world. Another surprising to me they could create such a fantastic album for only three or less years. Their previous work "From Silence To Somewhere" was much appreciated to get the award Collaborators Top Prog Album of 2017 and I guess the latest one would have such a brilliant power and authority to climb the top of the mountain of the progressive rock scene. This album "Dwellers Of The Deep" has got more compact and more condensed than the previous one, and all of the four tracks are highly created and produced. Consider this opus will never betray every single Symphonic Rock fan, let me say.

The opening track "By The Banks" has brilliant critical enthusiasm. The topnote of swift keyboard work and thrilling rhythmic basis will catch our mind strongly. Their chorus, not so powerful but sensitively harmonized, is going to drive us mad. The construction of this track can be called as an authentic symphonic rock. Beautiful keyboard texture in the middle part is quite tempting. Always wondering why they launch such a complex soundscape that we can listen to fully with relaxation and meditation. Maybe because their melodic / rhythmic formation is pretty elaborate, delicate, and perfect. "Five Rooms" has more complicated melody lines and drastic rhythms but sounds quite catchy. Suppose their intensive melody-making apparently inspired by YES (reminds me of something like 'early' YES actually) or some legendary symphonic prog pioneers would let us feel so ... heavy texture here and there is also of our comfort. This track is 8 minute short for their production but we cannot avoid feeling this stuff should consist of colourful sound variation. "Naiad Dreams" is sorta delicate but delightful ballad one. A only-four-minute song has potential to ease us up. Acoustic guitar-based safe and sound attachment can suit all tastes suffering from current coronavirus pandemic. The last magnificent suite "Merry Macabre" should be their masterpiece. Bright phases like sunlight, deep depressive nervous zones, light-flavoured (but never thin nor flat) cheerful lesions, theatrical dramatic melodic sound-scenic paradises ... dazzling kaleidoscopic musical collective strongly with artistic vibes and innovative movements will never end. The last phrase immerses the listeners in a complete manner. Obviously they addict every single fan via such a killa impressive ensemble. We should listen carefully to this epilogue without any breath nor any eye blink.

For me, sounds like this album should top our expectations. As they release albums, their integrity improves massively. Oh God.
