Sun Caged - Artemisia

7.5/10

Sun Caged from the Netherlands, brought a great album with great tracks this time. The not so obvious song twists, and melodious composition feels as if they really took the time to device these songs. Though in some parts i hear an Enchant like sound, but that's ok.

The tempo of the songs are at a medium, this makes way for a nice balance between ballads and some heavier (7-string) parts for strong dynamics.

Talking about guitars Marcel Coenen such a string wizard makes this album really shine. Not saying that the other band members are there for show, their craftsmanship seeps through as well. Drums wreak havoc and technical when needed, the vocals of Paul Adrian are clear and remind me of Ted Leonard. Key's are really up there par with Andre Anderson's fills and solo's. And last but not least their new basist, he really is a complementary part and adds value to the songs.

Overall, a great album, greatly mastered, really worth picking up....

I hope they keep it up, and really look forward to their next album.
