Review:

Medieval horror muppets!

Bit late on this one, but this album is so frickin� superb, I just have to express my feelings towards it� After repeated listens, I have totally surrendered to the magic sound of those insane muppets� Many have pointed out the obvious similarities to early Infected Mushroom material, and yes this is what IM�s 3rd album could�ve sounded like� This is far from plagiarism though � this is highly original, flawless, ground-breaking material�

Think medieval. Think eerie, spooky horror-flicks. Think big orchestral compositions. Think full-blown multilayered trance-inducing goa-trance� And you�re still nowhere near the sound of this truly outstanding album� Each track is a little masterpiece by itself�

From the extremely well-crafted multilayered melodic mayhem of �The Mist� to the bombastic orchestral sonic horror sound-manipulations with super-catchy driving acid-driven melodies of �Machine Forest�

From the wicked stomper �Cat Visions� that incorporates the sound of a pissed-off meowing cat, to the deep, dark, percussion driven mayhem that is �Midnight Tales� �With the stunningly beautiful break, before the final full-on part� That track has it all� Perfection�

From the phat, ballistic grooves that define �Innocence� to the dark, scary Halloween night-time trance in �Towards the Castle� � those high-pitched acid-lines WILL mess with your head� So beware!

From the perfect blend of eerie, merciless night-trance and energetic, twirling acid-lines combined with demented piano-riffs in �Mercenaries� to the hard-hitting, relentless full-on goa-trance beautifully presented in �Might and Magic�

From the experimental wizardry and well-crafted haunted melodies in �From the Legend� to the soothing, coming-back-to-reality trip of �Defender of the Crown�

This album is near perfection�Nice long build-ups and breaks that are actually long enough to be trance-inducing� Extremely well-produced, with nice, clear and crispy sounds� I really dig the medieval �theme� of this album � both musically and stylistic� A big old FUMS UP to Trancelucent Productions for bringing us such a wikkid album... ;o)

Highly recommended!

9.5/10
