4 stars ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGE a group that you randomly pass over while searching again and again for a group that comes from DREAM THEATER and LEPROUS in this case!

1. The Back of My Mind bucolic intro, you will see at the end of the last title that you will come back here; strong attack between vocal softness and strong orchestration bordering on djent; the velvety guitar solo, it melts in the mouth, the rhythmic bass and 6 minutes which pass without realizing it 2. Endless Naught modern tune, with a phrased vocal, not raspy, (ah yes you have to laugh a little), although at the beginning; the harmony holds the limelight on a Leprous, a Tesseract, with Victor and Charlie again throwing solos all over the place; the chorus is catchy, fluid and effective, the riff chiseling 3. Pulses and the airy piano variation, a melody that flows naturally, the guitar starts with its little solo from the start, the composition changes habits and brings freshness 4. Further from the Surface continues by giving more space to Shay who sings subtly, reminding me of Leprous, Haken and other Maraton; a smooth ersatz here that surfs on prog metal, djent, hard FM; 5. The Wild Haunt with its symphonic orchestration, distant violins, grandiloquent synth and this airy final break, we would ask for more in a little longer

6. Trail of Lights crystalline piano before launching a new heavy rock pop melody with a djent touch; for all tastes, a fresh sound with a progressive blood in the range which makes us forget both the tune and the instruments, lulled by both 7. There's No Bottom to This on the same plot, modern rock more than cheerful progressive; air guitar which even draws on the grandiloquent side of the QUEEN, surprising with this bossa nova-saloon break from ... living room 8. Keep Yourself Hidden for a crazy jazzy-soul tune, if the title were linked together we would have a progressive plot without a doubt; we are on neo-prog metal which is a pleasure to hear; a profuse fundamentalist could listen without saying that 'it's too loud'! the few seconds of final accordion are enjoyable 9. Now We Sleep for the last and long piece with an evolving and enjoyable crescendo, yes there too; a gentle, melodic rise, Shay which shows the range of his voice, a bit of A-Ha; ambient-soaring break yes the prog is hiding everywhere now; go country break, bucolic, astonishing progression final breathtaking creation!
