Here's a review of the album.. you can find it the latest Rolling Stone if you just look closely enough.. keep looking you'll find it eventually. 

" Molvanian prog monsters Nietzcko Zcxercaz continue where Genesis' " The Lamb Lies on Broadway " left. They explore farther than Yes did with " Tales from Topographic Oceans " . As the band's vocalist and lyricist Zlad Bartel reveals, the band wanted to explore and expand their compositional skills as well as their musical talents. 

"Of Shrouded Sorrow" is the band's fourth album. Their three first albums have all been electro-pop, but this album to me seems like a natural progression, since their electronic albums have always been highly intelligent and filled to the brim with strange song structures and weird psychedelic sonic attacks. 

The regular synthesizers are replaced with waves of washing mellotrons and pulsating VCS-3 synthesizers. The band introduces a new guitarist on this album, Roberto Fricz, who is a highly talented young guitarist. The album also features a visiting flautist and Zlad Bartel himself plays some quite unconventional instruments, such as an accordium and a xylophone. 

From track one we are treated with full-blown prog rock with free spirited signature changes and higly complex song structures flavoured with extended soloing and interesting vocal arrangements. The songs flow from gentle acoustic interludes to aggressive riffing and angry drumming yet again interrupted with mellotron, VCS-3 and Moog solos. 

The whole album culminates in the monstrous multi-part half-hour epic "In Search of What Is" , which combinates all these aforementioned attributes and also revisits some of the album's main themes in a way only these Molvanian proggers are capable of. 

The basic story of the album is about a man called Darkster Souldog who one morning wakes up from a palace in ancient Peru. In an epic quest to find his lost happiness and the meaning of life he has to fight his way through angry natives and come to terms with his gloomy past to find his way back home. What a splendid rock opera indeed! "

Is he the Son of THAT ZLAD!?
I can't wait 2 hear it!!!!
