EVER

The return of the original vocalist (doubling as lyricist and cover artist), absent on the past two albums (1987 & 1989), brings back what was to become the iconic voice of the band. The formation has another new member, John Jowitt is now the bass player and will stay as such for the next 20 years, also contributing with backing vocals.

Ten years have passed since the first demos and this album shows maturity, with a clear musical identity now deeply rooted. As I noted before, they express more consistently their symphonic nature as would be expected in the longer tracks, and here we have two epics to relish upon.
