“Delusions Of Grandeur”
(Pelagic)
Instrumental metal, or instrumental music in general is not my forte. Perhaps I’m too used to vocal music to fully appreciate there not being any vocals. I will not believe that it has anything to do with me not being a musician. I am a strong believer in that good music is easily understood by all people into good music. So it is with some sort of trepidation that I take on this. This is the kind of music that could easily put me to sleep, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. This is scenic that it makes my mind start wandering far away into dreamland. I paint great pictures in my mind listening to this. And the fact that it isn’t instrumental in any way doesn’t take away the dreamy quality. It kinda reminds me of a more organic Opeth without all the progressive tendencies. All in all a really nice record for soothing my over cooked mind. A record for stressed out everyday folks. Anders Ekdahl
