RED SUN

Sykofant

Heavy Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Following their groove-laden debut album last year, Norway's Sykofant have returned with 23 minutes of new music. It continues in a vein similar to Sykofant but with obvious development and artistic growth. Space rock, stoner rock, jazz, and blues all get moments in the spotlight here, and solos are included at fun moments. Early '70s Pink Floyd is an especially obvious influence on this release, and it borders on distracting on the title track. Overall, though, Red Sun is a solid release, and Sykofant does a great job of threading the needle of evoking classic prog sounds and tropes without coming off as hacky or derivative.
