Innergy

This a progressive album by the band Forgotten Suns and what a beauty it is! Sadly, this band is not well known. They have some serious musical talent. The songs are very atmospheric, the instruments are played with great skill and the whole album is structured and sculpted very well.

The guitars on this album are simply amazing. From fast paced guitar riffs to some mid paced parts, they are amazingly executed. They provide a very atmospheric feel to the album. They sound very epic. The solos are just mind numbing. The solos are blazing fast and in some parts, they are mid-paced and melodic. The riffs are very original and sound really good. The songs have huge number of riffs and solos. On an average, a song contains of around 5-6 different riffs and 2-3 solos which is really good.

The bass mostly sits in the background and cant be heard. The average quality production can be blamed for this. Although there are some bass solos which arent muffled and I must admit that they are very good!

The drumming is very tight. From fast, bang-your-fucking-head parts to slow and rythumic parts, the drumming feels very good. They flow along the songs without ever going off beat and at some parts I was not able to stop myself from going 'oh snap! Listen to that drumming.'. Its that good!

The keyboard is a key instrument here. They add to the overall atmosphere of the album and affect it to a great extent. There are some solo keyboard parts which are very well executed. The keyboardist is very skilled. There are some parts where you cant help but notice the keyboards excellence.

The vocals are good. They are mostly baritone with some high pitched screams. The lyrics are quite impressive. The vocalist does his job very well.

The production is not very good and its not very bad either. Its somewhere in the middle. The bass is almost muted and the vocals feel like they are coming from somewhere afar. The production is the sole reason I deducted 5 points from it.

Apart from the production, this is an almost perfect album which should be bought if you have a chance to!
