FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
This is a progressive rock album with the emphasis on rock. Rikard’s musicianship and song-writing is strong. Here he’s aided by a powerful rhythm section, giving the album a pleasant organic vibe.
Fans of classic, Yes, Genesis and King Crimson will find much to enjoy here.
“The attention Mares of Thrace have received has not only been deserved, but they’ve carried it with an incredible amount of grace. The doom-lady duo have taken their exposure and used it as motivation to become even better performers. Their sound, even at its most droning, is now more elegant, the explosions of energy more accurate and precise. They have retained an organic roar to the music, especially the immense “General Sherman,” which evokes blood pounding through a body.”
