Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1992, Sweden.

Heel mooi symphonic Prog album van deze Zweden.

Helped by some guests (Horns, oboe, flute, cello...), ISILDURS BANE plays a majestuous orchestral symphonic between vocals, guitar, keyboards and flute. They are very percussion oriented, with a lot of keyboards and some guitar. This swedish band has a unique sound, with great playing, but it might require a couple of listenings to grow on you. Recommended to fans of Eclectic, intricate music.

One of the most beautiful albuns I"ve ever heard in progressive music. Couldn"t describe it other way. The intimate suite Picassiette shows us how simple and acoustic songs can be as powerfull as intrincate songs. The suite La Sagrada Famila, insired by the Barcelona Cathedral has an atmosphere of classical music, given by the chorus. The suite The Voyage has parts of pure explosion abd reminds how these guys can play! A unique masterpiece of progressive music and essential in any library!
