Sylvan, Nad THe bride said no

2017, In 2015, Nad Sylan impressed everyone with his fine conceptual solo album COURTING THE WIDOW. A vampiric tale wrapped in a 17th century atmosphere, this definitively marked out the talented Swede as a surging star in the progressive rock world. Now, Sylvan is back with THE BRIDE SAID NO, an album that continues the fascinating plot, albeit with a far more extravagant musical palette. On the creative side, what the new album does is to expand Sylvan's horizons. Musically, the previous record was very much located in the 1970s, and you can still hear a little of that here. But this one is a lot more modern sounding and diverse. Sylvan plays the keyboards and much of the guitar on the album. But the album does have some special guests appearing throughout. Sylvan is especially proud of collaborating with female vocalists Jade Ell, Tania Doko and Sheona Urquhart. You can hear how this works on both the title track and also ,,What Have You Done"
