Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spain's premier hard-progressive outfit Bloque reached new heights of conceptual ambition with their third album, 'El hijo del alba'. Driven by intricate dual-guitar harmonies and sweeping synthesizer passages, the band crafts a heavily symphonic, dynamically complex rock opus. The record stands as a towering achievement of the classic Spanish progressive rock movement before its ultimate decline.
