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. RaduP's picks | More picks ›› |

This album has one excellent track - Passenger . 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.

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.

Written by RaduP on 16.01.2022 at 15:47 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.

My favorite still keeps being Veil Of Imagination (MASTERPIECE), but this one is also great stuff, I felt it more progressive and personal.

Does anyone have the US version of the CD and if so does it work? I want to buy it but I heard some people’s copies didn’t work.

This album just doesn't do it for me, I find it rather dull. I find the second half more interesting than the first half of the album.

Didn't quite reach the heights that Veil did for me (it was my album of the year for 2019), but still a fantastic record nonetheless.
