ESOTERIC POEM *

In '92 ASGARD released what I would consider to be the most captivating musical poems of all time... "Esoteric Poem" has been one of the most treasured gems in my music collection for a while and for good reason. "Esoteric Poem" moves just like a poem in nature and unveils its beauty line after line, offering a wide variety of mood and atmospheres. "Esoteric Poem" runs through as 1 complete 35 min song with many varied instrumental and lyrical passages. ASGARD were at their height of their creative carrer here and the album is given lots of space to explore... from fireside sounds to church hymns. Along the way we are treated to some real solid progressive rock full of classical guitar, keyboards and the operatic vocal accents of Kikko Grosso. ASGARD are one of my alltime favorite prog bands and this short little tune is a real keeper and should appeal to all good music lovers out there....
