JOURNEY OF THE SHAMAN

Excellent refinement and consolidation of the sympho-space rock style debuted from Turkey. A true concept album that listening to it must be in one time from start to end. No songs should/can be skipped. I think that Nemrud got their own sound and direction in this very first album which made them unique in the progressive rock scene. "Journey of the Shaman" is a complex album with some huge ideas put to very impressive musical themes. The tracks run together almost seamlessly as one and there are multi movement suites that encompass several songs, 3 sections with a variety of styles and time signatures, with inventive musical breaks. 5 stars without hesitating!
