Description/Reviews:

“Polar Human Circle” is another enthralling progressive journey through intense soundscapes with a strong evocative power, a concept whose lyrics, sung by Gabriele Marconcini’s expressive voice, lead the listener to question our species’ actual survival ability. Within an international-scope sonic texture which, thanks to a hard edge and obscure side – unprecedented in the band’s music style – blends 90s prog-metal (Queensrÿche) with more modern sounds (Riverside, Porcupine Tree, but also Marillion’s most recent works), Raven Sad combine songs here shorter and more immediate than in the past with an epic title track that, in almost 27 minutes, unfolds among psychedelia, orchestral sections and dissonant fugues.
