The debut album from this US band.
This band is a quartet with a lineup of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals.
The band is from New Jersey and was previously a solo project by the keyboardist Jason Kresge. Then he developed this solo project into a band.
The band is new to me and most others. But New Jersey has come up with a lot of good bands. The quality normally rises to the top in that scene.
Orpheus Nine plays pretty technical neo-prog with a lot of symphonic prog and hard rock influences. The sound is clean with a lot of guitars, vocals and keyboards. The band has a lot of skills.
There is also a lot of youthful run of the mill rock here too. The band knows how to rock out.
The centrepiece on this album is the twenty-two minutes long title-track. An epic kind of a symphonic prog epic. There is also some
The band has a lot of potential. Potential not entirely unleashed here. I get the feeling the band has a lot more to offer than what they are giving us on this fifty-five minutes long album. I do not think we have seen the best of the band on this, their debut album.
Huge potential, but not quite a good album.
