Progressive-rock album from this five-piece band that combines technicality, melodic vocals, and epic compositions. Highly recommended for fans of Dream Theater and Rush.
Bio / Background
Hourglass is an original progressive-rock band from Utah. Amidst their own recognizable sound, you might hear influences that span decades, from Yes and Pink Floyd to Dream Theater and Enchant, from Rush to Kansas. The band's focus is great songwriting without sacrificing great musicianship and vice versa.
Hourglass was formed in 1999 with shredding guitarist Brick Williams as the constant in 5 years of lineup changes. Classically-trained keyboardist Eric Robertson returns from a hiatus after the first album (This Lonely Time and Place) and drummer John Dunston continues his frenzied and powerful playing that marked the second album (The Journey Into). Newcomers Cody Walker (transcendent vocals) and Clark Woolstenhulme (grooving on the bass) fill out the lineup for Subconscious.
This new album tackles several different lyrical topics via equally-different musical styles. The Hammer's Strike is an epic, rocking censure of the failings of the justice system.
↓ more ↓Mists of Darkness is an exploration of depression, at times being owerpowered and at times overcoming the struggles that come from the illness. Exit Wounds is a 7-piece story of a man who fights and dies for freedom, and the reactions of the family members he leaves behind. All this and more on Subconscious.

While not what I expected in this genre, this song is quite amazing. The lyrics are emotional, and the music beautiful. Again, excellent.
