One of the most underestimated prog bands in the world is the Swedish Sinkadus. Walking in the footsteps of the late Anglagard, they create a dark, sinister and sometimes sprinkling atmosphere over their music. Using complex rhythms, vintage keys like hammond, mellotron and filling up with flute they manage to come to a masterpiece. For some people is hard to get through the album, but the fans of original complex prog can feed their ears with this tastefull album.
Opening track 'Jag, anglamarks bane' has allready bee released in a live performance on their Progfest album. It shows direct what Sinkadus is. First showing their strong presence then retreating in a calmness with lovely acoustic guitar and flute, to burst out again in the end.
Bombastic openings and repeated patterns are one of the weapons of this band, but the mesmerising sound of the mellotron absolutely steals your heart.
You can't point a specific highlight on the album, for the level is equal on most of the tracks. This is a worthfull follow-up to Aurum Nostrum.
