It's a masterpiece of Melancholic Rock influenced by Porcupine Tree, David Bowie or new Anathema

DESPAIRATION return with their 5th album that shows them from a more mature side. Once again the varied music and the poetic lyrics, that circle around the subject matter 'farewell', give us a lot of space for own associations. Open-minded listeners who love bands like Marillion, Porcupine Tree, David Bowie or new Anathema, can surely get warm with the self-contained sound of this German band. Between expressive flare-ups and solemn silence there's a lot to discover, the melodies are irrevocable catchy and while listening to the album the first time it becomes evident already how rewarding this investment is.
