KINGDOM OF SADNESS

I really like when progressive rock bands are stretching out both musically and in the songs length, and gets away with it as good as VALINOR'S TREE. These Swedish guys are playing music that is a mix between ANEKDOTEN, GENESIS, KING CRIMSON and ÄNGLAGARD. The harder parts are closer to ANEKDOTEN and KING CRIMSON while the quiet parts are reminiscent to GENESIS and ÄNGLAGARD. They are using my favourite keyboard instrument Mellotron in a good way. I think they have put out a self-financed CD before they were signed to the Record Heaven label, and I don't know if this release contains the same songs as their self-financed debut. Anyway, this is a highly recommended release from yet another Swedish band with a promising future.
