Review:
|
Dark Angel is the second album from The
Reasoning, a ‘prog’ rock band from Wales. I have put inverted
commas around ‘prog’ because the tag normally attached to
them does not fully describe their music. There are no widdly
solos or weird time signatures, but melodic rock songs that
should appeal to a very wide audience. ****
Featuring 3 lead singers, the folkish
Rachel Cohen (ex Karnataka), Dylan Thompsons’s rock, and
Gareth Jones ballad, this just about sums up their range.
The album ranges from the gothic rock of ‘Dark Angel’, to
the metal of ‘Call Me God’, to the radio friendly ‘Breaking
the 4th Wall’. ****
With the right push this band could become
massive; they have the look, the songs and the ability.
