This is the third album of this Manchester-based band and it was recorded in their own studio.

The album starts with the instrumental Feint, that has some nice synths and a piano, while in the next track, Fracture-Fragment, a guitar comes up. The song reminds me of the American Wild West with cowboys and desolate landscapes.

Guitar Neck has a more modern sound, while the voice of singer K. Craig has similarities with our own Dirk Blanchart. Before The Ritual is an intense song with lots of twists. No wonder that this is the first single of the album!The Promise counts thirteen minutes and it is a perfect track to close this album. It starts with an ambient intro, second after second it grows into a real epic with a choir and violins! The music and lyrics are so intense that you dare to think of names like Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave or Nick Drake. Fine melancholic rock!

De derde langspeler van deze band uit Manchester. Tussen 2 albums hebben ze hun eigen studio gebouwd, wat ze in staat stelde om in 2013-2014 aan dit album te werken.

Het album begint met de instrumental Feint, gekenmerkt door stemmige synths en een piano. De song erna, Fracture-Fragment, begint met wat gitaar en een rustieke klankkleur en doet mij aan het Amerikaanse wilde westen denken: cowboys, uitgestrekte landschappen.

Guitar Neck klinkt iets moderner. Zanger K. Craig, heeft een warme volle stem die qua klankkleur bij onze eigen Dirk Blanchart aanleunt. Before The Ritual is een intense song vol afwisseling, een dijk van een nummer en terecht de eerste single uit dit album. The Promise, dat het album afsluit, is een dertien minutendurende epische song. Hij begint met een ambientachtige intro, schurende synths en vreemde klanken, tot de zangstem en de keys langzaam komen binnenwaaien. De compositie wordt stap voor stap groter door o.a. de toevoeging van synths, koor en strijkers. Daarna valt ze stil en gaat weer over in wat kenmerkend was voor de intro: overstuurde synths en een ambient soundscape. Kortom, een fantastisch nummer.

De muziek en de teksten hebben de diepgang en intensiteit van Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave of Nick Drake: melancholisch, filmisch, een fijn stukje rock.

I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.

As always, the writing process is one that I truly enjoy. To be so creative and have so much freedom, freedom to go with your instincts, freedom to try new things and freedom to write absolute crap - and that be okay.

I think we only come out stronger, more grateful and more passionate at what we do and feel privileged for having the opportunity to play in this band, and feel the love and support from the fans.
