What's in a dream? Beyond the physical plane, could it be a world to escape our own time-construct to explore other dimensions? Or is it just our garden, the cradle of our souls? Hanging Garden's The Garden is here to help our journey towards an elusive truth.

I usually like melacholic stuff but this was pretty boring for me. Vocals are somehow dreary. It got a bit better in the end but it didn't save much.

People who only listen DT or progressive ( boring) metal shouldn't vote this kind of masterpeiece of emotions. The album is amazing with different twists and directions. All of them have a purpose . Touch the beauty , melancholy and hope in our hearts. But if you are a millennial without that capacity. Make a big favour to yourself! Do not listen this boring masterpeice 🤔

I really like this album. It reminds me of Swallow The Sun mixed with Amorphis.

A Nice Guy
I'm certainly getting Amorphis vibes instrumentally, it's a unique sound they have here, some beautiful melodies and very pleasant on the ears, it's not particularly heavy but has a certain tranquility about it, and I quite like the various vocal styles, the growls that come in on the heavier sections, and the clean during the lighter sections, and they all work wonders imo.

Not a single track here I dislike, which is grest considering their are 11 tracks, I expected to maybe dislike a few, but no. "The Journey" has to be my overall favorite though.

Love how this band releases a new album steadily every two years for a decade now without dropping the quality of their music.
They are so underrated.

Bad English

Good balance between harsher death doom and calmer gothic doom and vell balance mix between male snd female vocals, and seems this band from melanholic doom what put out album like recently do vins when it's about female vocals.
