Hello All!
Залит Cryptex/(2020)_Once_Upon_A_Time
Молодая группа (трио), успевшая, впрочем, выпустить уже 4 диска.
Я их раньше не слышал и ничего о них не знал. Когда начал слушать, удивился густоте и разнообразию звука, а также - чему-то неуловимому во всей этой подаче. Прочитал биографию - точно - немцы! Всё стало понятно.
Говорят, что этот альбом нетипичен для группы - он состоит из 13 (12+бонус) коротких, по 3-5 минут треков, но для меня они все связались в некую общую картину, создалось общее, неразрывное впечатление - это невзирая на то, что треки разделены стандартными паузами. Очень стройное построение концепции альбома.
Надо их ещё послушать и последить за их творчеством.
Весьма рекомендую!

German trio CRYPTEX was formed in 2006 by Simon Moskon, Ramon Fleig and Martin Linke. They released the EP "Even Nature Will Be Thrilled" in 2008, and their debut album "Good Morning, How Did You Live?" followed in 2011. Besides these recordngs, this German trio have given numerous live performances over the years, and started making a name for themselves due to that just as much as for their recorded material, if not even more. Which made it natural for them to issue the live DVD "Live at De Bosuil" in 2012, their most recent production to date.

This is the fourth album from German band Cryptex, and for this one Simon Moskon (lead vocals, keyboards) and Marc Andrejkovits (bass, backing vocals) have been joined by Andre Jean Henri Mertens (guitars, backing vocals) and drummer Simon Schroder. The band has managed to gain a lot of fans across wide musical spectrums, and they have played more than 250 concerts in 23 European countries, have played in the States, have headlined their own tours and have supported bands as musically diverse as Pain Of Salvation, Threshold and Alice Cooper. Their own style is that of crossover progressive rock, moving into melodic hard rock territory and new guitarist Mertens has come in as a songwriter and has had an immediate impact.
It is an album mostly of shorter material, with only a few of the twelve songs longer than five minutes, and it is based around Moskon's vocals and songs with great hooks. The keyboards in question are often piano, but they can switch from something which is mostly Moskon accompanying himself to a band playing full on melodic rock, blurring the boundaries as to what is progressive rock and what is melodic radio friendly hard rock. It is an incredibly easy album to get inside, one which can be enjoyed the very first time it is played and just keeps getting better. It does feel quite lightweight in some respects, with little in the way of real depth, but what you hear is what you get, and the result is something which is just fun. I'm not so sure about the song "Body Language" where they try to push themselves into a slightly more serious area, with a voiceover, but when they are stay lighter then this quite an enjoyable album.

Enjoy!
