Monks of Mellonwah - Turn the People
Strangely enough, this one track leaves vocalist Vikram Kaushik's voice sounding incredibly close to Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, which I imagine was the furthest thing from his mind. However, musically Monks of Mellonwah's lean much closer to a traditional progressive rock act, than any sort of dance-rock hybrid, on most of the remaining tracks. Nevertheless, this latest effort finds the act mixing in new, welcome elements into an already solid musical base. Listen to "Escaping Alcatraz," and don't be surprised if Muse's epic rock reputation doesn't come immediately to mind. The vocal harmonies on "Downfall" also nicely bring Muse to mind.
For those that do not dig a steady diet of progressive rock, Monks of Mellonwah's Turn the People might be biting off just a little too much to chew. Nevertheless, there's no denying that - even for non progressive aficionados like moi - this latest full-length represents one giant growth step.
