FROM THE DAYS OF DEUCALION - CHAPTER 2

I reviewed From the days of Deucalion, chapter 1 a while ago and I felt I had to do the same with this new release. Well, let me start by stating that From the days of Deucalion, Chapter 2 is one of the best releases of 2015 as far as I'm concerned! I already raved about Chapter 1 (2013) and I am still enjoying that album a lot. But now with Chapter 2 in the spotlight I even more like this whole Deucalion epos. On this new release it's becoming clear how the two parts are connected. All new songs are tied together with themes from the latter one and some themes from the new album are recognized by me because some interludes on Chapter 1 already gave them away. How clever these albums are crafted! Very well done I must state! The new songs on the album really stand out. There are no weak tracks here. These are nine delightful prog diamonds that twinkle in my ears. No highlights for me because these are all highlights! Leap Day did it again and to be honest I didn't expect any less. But listen for yourself. And please listen more often than just once. Because with each listen you will explore more and more within the multiple layers these guys crafted together. Highly recommended to all sympho lovers!
