A lot of bands fancy themselves as cinematic or epic, but very few bands manage to mirror the actual experience of a story. Wilderun so effortlessly drag you along for the ride, and Epigone rewards every bit of patience you give it.

Mostly are too dull and long for it to be considered more than a 7 for me. But progressive isn't really my cup of tea, so just my 2 cents. Not a bad album in any way but not as great as the one before. ---- Beware the Shadows of Dusk Loading...
AlexanderTG Posts: 48 From: Canada	15.01.2022 - 04:57 Rating: 8 AlexanderTG Posts: 48 From: Canada I enjoyed this album a lot, for me Wilderun is like an evolved form of what Ghost Reveries Opeth era was, its nice to hear a band that writes music fluidly that flows nicely, everything and the kitchen sink thrown in there beautifully with a tad bit of chaos.

The more I listen Epigone the more I like it. My favorite of them is still Sleep, but Epigone is getting closer. I like Olden Tales but it's light years away from Epigone and the rest of their discography. The explanation I imagine is that the latest album has fewer hooks and the first listens can be more difficult to digest. Loading...
