CLOUDSCAPE “New Era”

CLOUDSCAPE
“New Era”
(Roastinghouse)
I’m the first to admit it. My memory isn’t what it used to be, or more precisely; it is what is has always been – bad. With that in mind I’m not sure if I’ve reviewed an album by Cloudscape before or if I confuse them with another act back in the 90s. It’s just that the band name seem so familiar. I’m at least expecting this to be some sort of hardrock with one foot in the 70s. I feel like that is what I need right now. And yes, there is a 70s progressive touch to this but there is just as much 10s progressive metal to it. Perhaps not what I had expected but that didn’t stop me from liking it. And while not exactly what the doctor ordered (I’ve never cared too much about doctor’s orders) this put a rejuvenated spirit in me. Anders Ekdahl
