Aphelion, Leprous‘ latest album, is an ecstatic melting pot between studio improvisations and solo compositions then reflected upon as a group. Deliberately built without construction, the result is nevertheless surprisingly coherent. The Norwegians navigate brilliantly between lulls and storms, led by the bewitching voice of Einar Solberg.
What is striking about Monuments is the unity. From the thundering drums to the heroic vocal melodies, the result is a logical, connected, unifying whole. In their new album In Stasis, the English band continues to embrace the contours of progressive metal. We, on the other hand, get caught up in the game: and once you’re hooked, there’s no way to let go.
Atmospheres sometimes soaring, sometimes grandiose, melodies devastating and full of mystery, Kalandra makes us travel, it’s as simple as that. Fans of the game “Kingdom Two Crown: Norse Lands”, you will recognize their songs, the band being at the origin of the whole soundtrack.
