We re stocking the Japanese edition, which has a proggy instrumental bonus track not on the Dutch version. The new album is a lot heavier than Brutal Architecture , due to guest guitarist Arjen Anthony Lucassen of Ayreon fame, and so Oblivion Days sounds a lot like a cross between Brutal Architecture and the Ayreon albums, verging on prog metal at times. This is Rocket Scientists at their most forceful and, as usual, the sound is audiophile quality.
All clips are excerpts.
The downloadable versions require the entire file to be downloaded first but can be saved to disk. The streaming versions will begin to play after a few seconds. But I can confidently state that the potential hinted at previously is now being realized. Clearly the best and also heaviest album so far by the Scientists, well written songs together with great production by Erik Norlander, who together with Mark McCrite are Rocket Scientists. Among the guest musicians we find Lana Lane and Arjen Ayreon Lucassen together with some others, for example the usual rhythm section of Tommy Amato on drums and Don Schiff on bass.
