Description/Reviews:
Set to release his eighth studio album since 2020, his works have covered styles ranging from full- on stadium rock, 1970s prog, eviscerating death metal, and acoustic folk, often in the same song.  Nothing has changed his approach on The Wasteland. If anything, he has doubled down on his eclecticism. The range can be jolting. One moment he’s lost in the melancholic doom of The Cruellest Month, only to be followed moments later by the quiet solitude of A Handful of Dust. Falling Towers is a song made of molten lava and pummeling guitar riffs, but is bookended by two much softer songs, the plaintive With Like Patience and the ethereal Upon the Shore. It is an album for the artistically minded, but accessible enough for any rock or metal fan.
