Title: Explorations
Product review: Will Haven is moving into a new direction with this album. From the first dark chords bursting into Saga it gets you hooked. Then it becomes a vast and very solid sound of heavy and technical guitar sounds. Grody's vocals are grinding and harsh, but still catch emotion and melody, screaming and sometimes softly talking his poetic lyrics into the songs.A true sign of Will Havens progression is Fines Our which is to me the hidden gem of the album. The calm build up and distant sounds just pull you in as the song bursts into conclusion.Now the downside. It can get a bit repetitive at times. The riffs are excellent, but sometimes go on for just a bit too long. There's a couple of tracks which lack an individual sound. It is distinctive Will Haven, but it's not a distinctive track.Besides that, this is an excellent album which actually makes me look out to the next one even more. I'm sure that will take some time, but these guys are only getting better. Recommended.
