The second album of these Swedishes and the last to date. After a debut
album very influenced by Anglagard, this second album continues sounding
similarly enough to the mentioned group, though here Sinkadus do the effort
of looking for an own sound. In my opinion this "Cirkus" overcomes "Aurum
Nostrum" in general.
This time we can find five tracks, very difficult to choose just one over
the rest, excellent all of them, pure Swedish progressive rock. Five
exciting, very good works and performances, full of progressive, enigmatic,
Gothic, dark, pastoral, and symphonic sounds.
They are not as good instrumentists as Anglagard, that's obvious, but the
writing work of the band reaches a high standard, and the material stored
here is able to touch all those that get excited with Anglagard's
creations.
Right now, I imagine that the band are about to decide whether they continue
or they leave it, because the last news are that both girls had quit to
devote theirselves to their families, and the rest do not give signs of life
from quite some time ago, not even in their website. Though the intention
was to search for replacement for those who left the ship, so let's wait and
see.
Few more to add. The Anglagard fans have here another great album, which
continues with the work that they left at the top of their career.
Rating: 8.5/10
