HARLEQUIN MASS

This single albun from North-American band HARLEQUIM MASS, is a good surprise, mainly if take in consideration that is a relatively unknown work ( 6 ratings and only 4 reviews ). The sound reminds in some aspects the German band NOVALIS (in special "Novalis" & "Bradung" albuns) and also takes a bit of GENESIS, YES. .Althought, the symphonic prog influences are great, I could perceive some crossover prog influences in the "vein" of the Britsh band BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and a very small "pinch' of the sound of the Norwegian band RUPHUS in their two first albuns ("New Born Day" and "Ranshart") wich adds some Heavy-Prog aspects in the musical landscapes. I detach the track 2 "Love & Death", track 6 "A New Song" , track 7 "Sky Crawler" and track 9 "Meantime". My rate is 4 stars !!!
