A SHOUT INTO THE VOID

The 4th album from this keyboard-centric Prog Trio from the U.S. I was a big fan of their last album (Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol.II, 2023), and this new album is even better. Delightful prog elements masterfully presented in an energetic hard-driving modern rock context, yet still maintains a strong melodic sensibility, with catchy melodies and hooks throughout. A concept album of sorts with a theme dealing with social commentary on our place in the world of today. Sensational keys/synth-work (Dylan Porter), from the backing aura to dazzling solos, always with just the right sounds and voices. Powerful bass and vocals from primary songwriter Daniel Graham, and dynamic drumming backing from Jeff Matthews. Impressive out of the gate with the hard-rocking openers Utopia and Rules of Engagement. The instrumental One Thousand Eyes displays the full-on Prog credentials of the band with a fantastic dizzying piece. The album concludes with the beautiful, powerful, and majestic title track, bringing together the theme of the album. A unique, powerful and excitingly enjoyable album that stands among the year's best. Best Tracks: One Thousand Eyes, Chain of Command, Brain on Fire, Rules of Engagement, A Shout Into the Void. Rating: 4.5
