Finnish melancholic progressive metal band's third album, "Escherian", is a concept album in which the story's character desperately tries to escape a parallel reality. The character repeatedly experiences the same moments, unsure of where or when he is. Despite making progress, he finds himself in the same place over and over again.
The album's narrative reflects modern times: the journey of people through life, often reluctant to see what's happening around us. Our journey may resemble Penrose stairs – we move forward without questioning our direction, even though we tread the same path day after day.
Musically, "Escherian" continues the tradition of Lucidity. The band has maintained openness to a range of influences, spanning from the 70s to the present, encompassing genres from pop to extreme metal, this time drawing a bit more from progressive soundscapes.
