MUTE

This is a powerful second release by Demians. Being a huge PT fan, I was initially attracted to the album by the favourable reviews attributed to Steven Wilson. I must confess that after first and second listen, I felt dissapointed - yet another Heavy Prog release that lacked the depth that I was looking for. However, I persevered, and the quality of the songwriting soon shone through. Technically this is a very acomplished album - Wisps of PT can be found on some tracks, which is not meant to suggest Demians are trying to be another PT, but it you like your music heavy and melancholic, this is well worth a listen. I shall be obtaining a copy of Building an Empire on the back of this. Bravo Nicolas.
