BLOOD MOON

"Fall On Your Own Sword" for deep-rooted prog metal, on a Threshold chiselled with a powerful riff, a rocky voice; prog metal with a groovy finale for a change from proggy archetypes. "When the World Burns" has a melancholy melodic tone, over a moving guitar arpeggio, like 'Forbidden Games'; Paul's pads resonate and give this crescendo a solemn character before the explosion of the expressive guitar solo. "High Velocity" in uptempo! Refined, punchy prog metal, a speedy instrumental with a jazzy-prog edge from the keyboards, an immersive moment demonstrating the band's intense musicality. "Start Again" for the deep ballad, bathed in sounds of Alan Parsons, Toto; light, consensual with its programmed rise and the important part played by Mick's bass on the funky finale.

"The Baron's Eyes" is interesting for its funky new-wave alternation with shimmering synths and its heavy riff, typical of Foreigner AOR. The break moves into the spheres of the progressive cosmos before returning to the lands of Riverside and prog metal bands, Symphony X or Ark with Jorn Lande, demonstrating the opening. "Fighting Force" is an uptempo instrumental surfing on powerful, melodic prog metal, with Andy's guitar in evidence for the melting marshmallow velvetiness. "Over" brings together their musical soul with a throwback to the 90s. The association of bands who tried their hand at aging prog for a sound somewhere between Ark, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Toto's heavy era.

Note the nectar guitar solo. "Blood Moon" in sound synthesis, with a metal riff to make you swoon, a rousing chorus and a tune reminiscent of many a prog band of the last few decades, including Rush. The track rises like an endless wave from Cars to Kashmiri Led Zeppelin, from backing vocals to Nightwish, and everything in between. A long cinematic fade-out with a Flash-like outro for... lightning.

Red Bazar's album is typical, burnished by the progressive red-hot iron; virtuosity, rhythm, soaring flights, mellow breaks, a melting-prog ambience creating emotion and memories. Origine on Progcensor.
