After the release of their first album (A Voice Within in 2014), everyone apart from main man and killer guitarist Aaron Marshall, left the band. This is the follow up record, The Shapes Of Colour.
If you’re a fan of instrumental prog metal with emphasis on the geeeetar then you will love this. He is joined on drums by the amazing Travis Orbin who was in Periphery early on. I love everything about this album, especially the way Aaron does not lose the sense of melody in his playing and doesn’t just throw notes to impress.
Fable is just a superb piece of music with so much groove to the playing, and adding the sax is just genius. It’s one of my favourite Intervals pieces. Black Box is just insane. Super fast playing with the eye always on the melody, and the added heavy riffage is just great to the ears.
If you’re a prog metal fan who loves well crafted instrumentals, or your are a guitar nut, you will love this.
9.5/10 from The Grooveman.
