Description/Reviews
Mad Artwork appears to have a foundation in the harder edged progressive rock of thew 1970’s, frequently crossing over or incorporating elements of the classic hard rock from the same decade. With a few additional twists thrown into the mix, emphasizing their progressive rock credentials.
The organ is a central presence throughout, and a vintage sounding variety of the instrument at that with that rich, powerful 70’s sound that is still a staple in rock, hard rock and even metal of all varieties. In this case paired off in gentler passages with delicate electric or acoustic guitar, with and without vocal support, and even more so in powerful passages with harder edged guitar riffs and organ combining into majestic, vibrant constellations.

  1. Great debut album! 4 epic extended progressive hard rock tracks that are much more diverse than what we've come to expect from 'standard' prog-metal, that's for sure!
