(Progressive Metal) Colobar /Bulgaria/ - Behind the Veil of Oblivion - 2012, MP3, 320 kbps

Bulgarian musician and songwriter Angel Angelov came up with the original concept for Behind The Veil of Oblivion. Angelov produced and wrote the lyrics as well as performing various duties on the record. Along with Angelov, the rest of the band consists of Konstantin Jambazov on guitar and bass, Emil Kosturcov on drums, Kiril Kirilov on piano and keys, Radoslav Todorov on piano and Carl Sentance on vocals form the band colobar.

This album is a very unique in the way of balancing the combination of old fashion rock with progressive metal and delicate touch of Eastern ethno sounds with fusion and jazz. Beautiful combination of these genres to listen with delight.

1st Track Change of the Ages kicks off with fast paced riffs, passionate rhythms and lively guitar. Add into the mix the sensational vocals of Sentence, and you have a heavy metal song that, really kicks off the album in a way that captures and leaves waiting with baited breath for the next track.

2nd Track Behind the Veil of Oblivion at nearly ten minutes long is by far the longest track on the album. The track starts with moody piano before the vocals add elegance to the track, then it slows to a near stop before throwing a curve ball and fires off with a heavy metal blast.

3rd Track Timeline is a colourful and distinctive track, with three musical changes within the first two minutes, the mix of folk, jazz keys and heavy metal makes for a masterpiece in fusion. The mix of heavy metal and piano near the end of the track is certainly different.

4th Track Listen also features musical changes, but the changes in style from metal to jazz to rock and back again are far more effortlessly than on the previous track.

5th Track Secrets starts with is a prog rock track that is different from previous tracks, as it is more conventional and is not filled with lots of different style changes. If you like your music more conventional and not experimental/with a mash up of styles. Then this will be your favourite/stand out track.

6th Track The way out finds Colobar reverting back to mixing styles. Although the aggressive riffs and enthralling bass lay a solid metal base on which there are layers of rock and jazz fusion. It really pounds and mesmerises the senses.

7th Track Can’t feel is the last track on the album and by far the most haunting and beautiful. The composition of the instruments, mixed with the vocals of Sentence at his best and showing his full range. Makes for an ideal way for behind the veil of oblivion to finish.

Behind The Veil Of Oblivion is 40 minutes of well-crafted musical variety. Blending various styles that make it a treat for all music lovers. This really is one of the stand out albums of the year.
