Clear vinyl with gatefold cover. Limited 500 numbered copies

Ark’s self titled debut is an excellent piece of progressivemetal and the musicians behind the band have a long story ofperforming this kind of music as many of them comes from therenowned Conception. John Macaluso is one of the most excitingdrummers in prog metal, and while his maverick style of drummingdoesn’t show it’s full power until their second release, it’semergence is prominent on several tracks here, as is Tore Ostby’sin the realm of prog-metal guitar leadership. He really displayshis creativity, sacrificing his early neoclassical trappings withConception for a truly unique listening experience. Rounding outthe package is the incredible Jorne Lande, that would go on tobigger things with his own solo career but here he conjures moreemotion than on any of his other releases. I would argue that thismay be among the most important and creative prog metal releases todate. Although it won’t ever have the influence of an Images AndWords or the popularity of an Operation Mindcrime, it is in manyways superior to both. The musicians proficiencies are astoundingand the songwriting is among the most inventive you’ll ever find.If you want melody and time signatures that your pop music-lovingneighbor can tolerate, purchase the far inferior (albeit stillgood) Burn The Sun. If you want to hear one of the most incrediblestudio performances in terms of technical mastery and cleversongwriting in the past decade, this is a MUST own.
