AVADANTE

The debut album from Kettlespider simply needs to be heard by every serious prog fan. One will experience a journey of light and crushing darkness with seamless transitions. This album, whilst short in length. says everything that needs to be said from a debut release. Dazzling but controlled musicianship, excellent production, mysterious artwork and intricately crafted songs. The closing track reflections is truly a masterpiece of the genre with uplifting sections blended with soaring guitar solos. I have listened to this album more times than I can count and each listen strikes me in a new way. I suppose thats what avadante is, a personal journey that is unique to each person. Overall, avadante by kettlespider is a strong candidate for album of the year and I cannot wait to hear more from these guys. Definately recommended for fans of dream theater and opeth
