I stumbled upon this album a few months after its release, initially hesitant to rate or review it so late in the game. However, giving it a listen was a revelation.
Although the album debuted back in November of last year, I find it imperative to share my pleasant surprise and encourage everyone to give it a chance.
Typically, we might edit longer epics into more digestible, radio-friendly segments, but these compositions demanded to be experienced in their entire, uncut form to truly appreciate their depth and craftsmanship.
In our new music rotation at Prog Radio, we've included several tracks from this album and are excited to feature it on our "What's New Proggy Cats" segment this week.
Notably, the album contains three epic tracks, all of which we've added to our playlist in their full glory. Typically, we might edit longer epics into more digestible, radio-friendly segments, but these compositions demanded to be experienced in their entire, uncut form to truly appreciate their depth and craftsmanship.
Keep an ear out for these epics on Prog Radio. We believe they deserve to be heard as the artists intended, uninterrupted and in full.
