FORSAKEN INNOCENCE

One of the best albums of 2021 so far and in my opinion their best to date, I enjoyed their previous album 'Planet Junkie' but this release takes it up to another level. Keyboard player Pat Sanders pulls together another impressive list of collaborators including Matthieu Spaeter, Jargon, Ben Bell, Jimmy Pallagrosi, John Jowitt, Gareth Cole and Eric Bouillette on this release which is full of progressive brilliance from the outset. Highlights of the album have to be the long epic title tracks Forsaken Innocence Parts 1&2 which collectively make up almost half of the album's running time. As you would expect with such lengthy tracks there is plenty to keep the listener engaged at every point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to any fan of the genre.
