Pendragon Pure

2015, The album definetely has a harder sound (but it is hardly metal!!) The whole band, including new drummer Scott Higham, are in top form - so many fresh ideas. The guitar work is superb - really expressive - from delicate to aggressive riffing - very emotive solos. Every track is excellent - the quality just isn't allowed to drop. So many great moments - that it is hard to pick out all the highlights. ,,Comatose" a 17-minute epic split into 3 parts. Part one (,,View From The Seashore") has from the 2nd to the 7th minute one of those moments where you have to stop the CD to replay what you just heard it is that good! The second part of Comatose (,,Space Cadet") starts of with a simple guitar and drum and then you realise they are off on one again! ,,The Freak Show" is such a strong song - great chorus - great lyrics though the lyrics here and throughout have an air of melancholy and even despair at times about them. But basically PURE is one constant highlight.
