Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
Sigma was my favorite album of 2017, and Poem was my favorite album last year, so yeah, just a little eager for this one.

Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
I hope everyone made sure to get hold of this album when it was released this Friday, as this is a clear contender for Album Of The Year. Right now it's kicking even Soen to the dust!!!
This album has everything you need in a modern prog metal release - it's atmospheric, it has incredible melodies, and obviously fantastic musicianship ... and where Soen lacks just the last little touch (the singer spot), Mother Of Millions has one of the very best vocalists in the current prog scene in George Prokopiou (also known from Poem). That guy has got to be the most amazing vocalist in the current scene to not have been snatched up by a bigger band - he is incredible.
It's interesting to think that this album seem to have the same influences as Soen (Tool, Opeth) but the end result is quite different from that. I also get a Pain of Salvation, Boil and even Kingcrow vibe from this disc. What a fantastic album.

Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
So I wasn't completely convinced by the single on youtube. I thought it was good, and I ordered it because of your firm words here. I got it in the other day and wow it's extremely good. I agree with your same influence input but different output statement. It's heavy, it's got soul and feeling, mad chops, wonderful vocals...it's just got all the goods.introclaus wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 6:50 pmI hope everyone made sure to get hold of this album when it was released this Friday, as this is a clear contender for Album Of The Year.

Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
I'm happy to hear that - it's locked in steady as my number 1 album of the year so far, and the only one that I foresee changing that is the upcoming Port Noir (unless Leprous manages to put out an album this year as well).Mardoch wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 5:24 pmSo I wasn't completely convinced by the single on youtube.

Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
Absolutely loving this disc...I may be late to the party, but better late than never...the atmospheres, the melodies, the vocals...the everything...What a cracking disc this is. I can't wait to see them at PPEU 2020, it proves to be a wonderful experience.

Re: Mother of Millions- Artifacts
Fantastic disc. As I said long time ago, only two albums were able to move it from the number 1 spot ...Man Of Much Metal wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 5:15 pmAbsolutely loving this disc...I may be late to the party, but better late than never...the atmospheres, the melodies, the vocals...the everything...What a cracking disc this is.
