Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a cornerstone of the modern neo-progressive rock movement, the British veterans lean heavily into dark, symphonic grandeur. Culminating in the acclaimed 24-minute suite 'Harvest of Souls', the album features prominent Mellotron textures, complex shifting time signatures, and Peter Nicholls' deeply theatrical vocal delivery.
