TWIN SUNRISE

Dogma is a pleasant sophomore effort by Dogma, sadly it remained their swan song. The first half of the album is more restrained, exploring lyrical themes and mellower territories. Guitar playing is competent and tasty, keyboard playing is proficient too, but some synth sounds are dated and typical for the prog of the 90's. "Born the witch" is a splendid introverted flute shaped number that is joined by epic mellotron. "Hymn" is the first very symphonic composition with some great instrument interplay. At the end, we have two more developed long epics of which the title track is a clear winner as there are plenty of guitar and keyboard progressive moments While being a competent effort, I failed to find an element that would split the music from hundreds of others and make it stand on its own.
