MYTHOS

This Spanish five piece band made a fine impression with their third album entitled "Mutatis mutandis". On this new album Mythos is obvious less influenced by IQ than on that third album. In general they made modern and pleasant sounding, often dynamic neo-prog featuring strong and fiery electric guitarplay, tasteful keyboards and a tight rhythm- section (sometimes a bit too). The English vocals are the weak point, not bad but mediocre without the usual Spanish expression. The highlight is the long final track "Sisyphus" that starts and ends with wonderful Spanish guitar and contains lots of good interplay between guitar and keyboards and some fine soli. A fine album but I advice In Nomine to sing in Spanish.
