The third album from this Spanish band.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, keyboards, guitars, bass and vocals.
I have been a long term admirer of this band and my reviews of their two albums can be found somewhere else in this blog.
Neo-prog is their genre. Sort of..... OK, it is neo-prog.
There is a lot more to the band than just neo-prog. Their sound and music reminds me a lot about early Marillion.
This album is indeed very comparable with early Marillion. No, the vocalist does not sound like Fish. The vocalist in Numen has a totally different voice. The vocals are indeed great.
But the music reminds me a lot about early Marillion.
Numen combines neo-prog and symphonic prog on this album. Which is a very good combination. The music is not massive technical. It still have a lot of intricate details, though.
The album is fifty minutes long and not a single tone outstays it's welcome. There is a lot of power and melody on this album.
The melodies and the music is indeed great and the album has a classy feel.
Numen is one of those gems in the neo-prog scene who deserves a lot more attention. I rate them as one of the best neo-prog bands in the world at this moment.
