3 stars Karcius' third album, "Episodes", brought us back to this excellent Canadian band!

And this time, fortunately, they focused more on songwriting and less on mere instrumental virtuosity, which made this "Episodes" their less chaotic but also their best album to date, also introducing certain elements that would be key to their music from then on, like the heavy guitar riffs we can hear on the excellent "Purple King".

Without a doubt, I prefer the last stage of the band on albums like "The Fold" or "Grey White Silver Yellow and Gold", which was released today 18th March 2022, but this "Episodes" was already a very good instrumental album and announced a group worthy of more attention.

Best Songs: the Elements Suite (three fine tracks full of jazz, heavy and pure prog) and Purple King (metal-oriented and inspiring track, with some influences of Deep Purple)

My Rating: ***

The Crow | 3/5 |
