3 stars Leprous full-length debut!!!

And even if it's just a demo, the sound is good enough to prove the technical mastery and good ideas of these Swedes.

The bad thing is that for my taste, this good sound and this good work on the instruments is not accompanied by compositions that are addictive enough for this album to become indispensable for me. In addition, the surprising formula of the first tracks becomes rather predictable towards the end of the album.

However, it does show enormous potential that, given the current status of the band, was confirmed in successive releases.

Well done guys! Especially recommended for fans of bands like Opeth, Mastodon and Atheist.

Best Tracks: Disclosure (a great chorus and an enviable instrumental development, as evidenced by the final "piano concerto"), Black Stains (jazzy and funny), Aeolous Shadow (the most epic song of this Aeolia in my opinion) and Deformed Beauty (beautiful guitar playing que a layer of keyboards)

My Rating: ***

The Crow | 3/5 |
