The first good thing upfront, the album is less commercial than the previous sometimes almost radio friendly "In 10/10Īfter the first average album by Enslaved (average for in their merits) in 2015 after more than 17 years, I wasĬurious to see if the trend would continue. Sysyphus all around in the repetitions but not in the futility of the doing. In the back and the winds on the front, really amazing, and this consisting in itself in the closure of the album. I think of Jagga Jazzist at their proggiest. And at around 9:30 the thing really kicks in withĪ wonderful piece of jazz approached prog. The theme until it's mature enough (after some vocals and chorus). They just continue making progressions on So that at around 5:30 there's space (foretold) for a soft jazzy interlude. The Chorus, higher and higher, reflects the mission. And suddenly it's really heavy/soft as if Tool was Really provoke mourning (Cardiacs meet Thank You Scientist). Sisyphus: It starts mysterious enough, cutting and developing. And as it came it disintegrates into a marvelous section with an almost Openings! The flow changes abruptly into noise (saxes burning) and from that glow it transcends into (drummingĮvolves) the chorus (reminds me of Haken). It starts so violent, almost feels like Opeth Ikarus: The sun burns him down before even flying to close to the sun. Then suddenly as in most prog music, it all goes quiet for a little bit, before pugging the audienceīack into this chaotic milestone. At times the experimentation takes the main role, almost licking the tongues of Avant Garde
Hydra is a masterpiece of counter-infections: Sometimes is the jazz in the band turning a heavy, almost metal, piece Is not uncanny, tribute or no, it makes sense. Syncopation of saxes, piano, flute, cello guitars constitute a sound so incredible. But there is no growling whatsoever in Stian Økland's Hunter starts with soft and slow piano notes and similar to the pandemic, in a blink of an eye all gets violent, loudĪnd heavy, using all the instruments the band is familiar for. A hunter and three mythological creatures coerced to live with another.
Narrative, in the case of this particular album four cohesive pieces revolve around heavy prog pandemically infectedīy jazzier strikes. In a way I always insist in the notion of a I find it difficult to grasp how an album should approach the listener.
