RITUAL

The second album by Nemrud, a Turkish band influenced mainly by Pink Floyd and Eloy, but also other classic symphonic prog bands like yes, genesis, camel, and etcetera. The name of the band came from a turkish high mountain that has statues of ancient gods and is a sacred place. It is always welcome to have new bands with good quality of music, as I said previously this album is mainly space rock that have a good structures without exaggerating with jams, but also includes symphonic passages that add variability in the music composition. The vocals also adds a good feeling to the music. However, not all the music is excellent, and there are parts where the quality of music diminish and its not consistent. Finally, I considered it a excellent addition to any prog collection, but far from being a masterpiece.
