In Vain - The Latter Rain [Avantgarde/Progressive Metal]

 

First of all, the variety and versatility of the music on the album is impressive, because the mood swings and emotional intensity of different parts of the album are changing very rapidly. The depth of the album is in its subtle and difficult to describe atmosphere of many years of epic wandering on the one hand, and the transfer of all the experience gained in them on the other. The variety and crumpledness of sometimes various avalanche-like musical themes resemble compressed emotions, the abundance of which fell on a very short period of time. Nevertheless, if you really imagine an adventure, then on this album you will be able to find mountains in the clouds, and stormy rivers with dense forests on their banks, and the dangers that they conceal in their wilds. In addition, the cornerstone here remains a person in the midst of all this, and the album can be viewed as an allegorical set of images of his perception of reality.
