Album Notes & Community Reviews

Winning a national melody-maker competition earned Druid the opportunity to record 'Toward the Sun', a lush, deeply pastoral symphonic prog album heavily indebted to early Yes. Featuring soaring high-register vocals and intricate Rickenbacker bass lines, the record delivers a highly melodic, ethereal, and uplifting progressive rock experience.
