Review:
Third album from multi-instrumentalist Rich Hinks, goes in the footsteps of ayreon, as he plays all instruments himself n use 3 outside vocalists. The only 1 i know of the vocalists is Atle Pettersen of Above Symmetry/Aspera. The other 2 also comes from 1-album prog metal bands. Nate Loosemore of Lost In Thought and returning Jonny Tatum of Eumeria.
Musically he is closer to the harder parts of classic prog metal, w the guest vocalists singing mostly clean. There r some growling here, but i guess Hinks r doing those parts himself. Overall a great album, w some rly good melodies, guitar solos n instrumental works.
