3 stars BLIND EGO with the presence of Yogi member of RPWL gives the intensity of progressive drifts, also going towards rock metal by the new singer Kevin of the metalcore group CYANT.

'The Hunting Party starts dark and airy, Floydian guitar solo announcing the color; a medicinal strike, an unstoppable melody on a modern prog rock, juicy with pop rock reminiscences of the 80s. 'The Stranger' for the US- AOR rock ballad; the fresh and catchy guitar to drive on a long route 66. 'Spiders' like a spider web that takes you and does not let go; an electronic up-tempo with the riff of the Scorpions for the bleeding heavy rock piece; a progressive variation where the guitar notes prolong time. 'Boiling Point 0' changes style, an alternative sound struck with a snarling chorus full of enthusiasm as soon as we have accepted and tamed Kevin's voice, erasing the rhythm a bit and putting the solo in the background.

'In a Blink of an Eye' finally changes in the space that interests us, the prog. Latent, clear start, soft, gripping vocal; the drums bring relief and finally launch the title with an angry Kevin; this hot and cold allows a lyrical flight that is wild before the atmospheric break and the most marshmallow solo there is. Gilmourian emotion claimed for the piece that never ends progressively speaking. 'Breathless' atmospheric-latent entry that excites the ear; it goes straight to a hard riff, we are out of breath, it falls well to listen to this cheerful prog metal with its haunting base. The brave piece that resembles those of 'Voices' where the instrumental is more pleasant in my opinion; riff, rhythm, a captivating heavy melody that unfolds flawlessly. 'When the Party's Over' with the bewitching notes of Oceansize from the famous 'Nurse' in the intro; after that it's an intimate southern ballad with this guitar picking by Kalle. The solo brings back the progressive scents for the feeling, the emotion like the solemn, delicate, introspective finale.

Blind Ego releases an album of alternative heavy rock prog that radically moves away from aging prog, since the time I've been writing it, from metallic trends, AOR, pure musical juice with the cherry of Gilmourian solos. Originally on Progcensor (3.5).
