Review: Sisare – Leaving the Land

Style: 70s prog rock (clean vocals)
Review by: Sam
Country: Finland
Release date: 19 January, 2018

NOTE: This album was originally included in the January 2018 issue of The Progressive Subway

I think this is the only straight up Prog Rock album I came across to. According to Metal-Archives they played “melodic extreme metal” earlier so I guess that’s why I found them. Leaving the Land is a very relaxed record. It’s got a light sound with very pretty guitar solos. The first half of the record is very good. The riffs in this have some of that old-school 70s swagger to them and the drums never fail to get you grooving. It dies off a bit near the end, but the first half alone makes this totally worth your time.

Recommended tracks: Escape, Mountain, Geno
Recommended for fans of: Rush, Black Sabbath, 70s prog
Final Verdict: 7.5/10
