This album includes quite a different songs, yet the musical storyline from the beginning till the end is clear. It includes both more straightforward heaviness and more delicate atmospheres, without forgetting progressive influences. Despite the variety in the songs, there are some elements that unites the songs: catchy melodies and choruses, cello sound and the use of clean and growling vocals.Media/Samples
Description/Reviews:
Beriedir offers a sound that, throughout their discography, spans from progressive power metal—characterized by its signature, neck-breaking choruses—to a contemporary progressive identity, delivering tight rhythms, gargantuan emotional sections, and earth-shattering, surgically precise breakdowns. This powerful musical package is wrapped in introspective themes, melancholic and nostalgic, creating a dark and enveloping aesthetic.
With "Liminal Spaces", Beriedir have fully embraced a progressive and experimental sound, moving away from their power metal roots and creating something that will enthrall fans of Pain of Salvation, Leprous, Katatonia, Gojira, and Dark Tranquillity. As they delve into melancholia, longing, and existential questions, the band cements their place as one of the most exciting voices in progressive metal today.
Instrumental Prog-Rock that varies between Jazz-Rock and Symphonic-Rock, with a seventies vibe.
“Space Age Pagliacci”, is a semi-concept album about spacetime. Stylistically, the music is a mix of Prog Rock & Classic Rock, with some hints of Circus Music.
The result this time around is less classic prog and closer to an American black midi, Squid, or The Smile: Ever-changing rhythms, sometimes angular or heavy, with a maximalist texture and emotional core. All four band members' personalities shine through for a true group effort. Longtime collaborators guitarist/vocalist Jake Rose and bassist Dominique Reveneau continue their vision of music with complex yet groovable rhythms and a love of 80s post-punk as well as 70s prog. Keyboardist Salvador Altamirano-Farrell has one of the largest rigs you can fit on stage while not being named Rick Wakeman including three tiers of keys and loves all things synth and organ. This album also marks the first recorded appearance of fourth member, drummer Connor Reilly, known for his muscular and dexterous playing on albums by The Mercury Tree, Greco Bastian, and Ventifacts, among others.
Kornmo is an instrumental progressive/symphonic band with musical roots in the early ‘70s, with an emphasis on the melodic.
Vårjevndøgnsnatt (Night of the Spring Equinox) is Kornmo’s fourth concept album, based on a story that begins in Ireland and ends in the deep Norwegian forests. This is reflected in the musical expression, both compositionally and through the choice of instruments. Science, philosophy, myths and folklore colour the story that Vårjevndøgnsnatt is based on, which can be read in both Norwegian and English in the accompanying booklet.Media/Samples
