ATMOSFEAR are a Prog-Metal band out of Germany and this is their second album from 2009. This is one of those albums that pushes the right buttons for me. From the vocals to the drumming to the heaviness and atmosphere, they do it right. "Beginnings" is the short intro track with atmosphere that blends into "Loss Of Hope" where violin-like sounds join in and other mellow sounds. It kicks in with riffs and a low end vibe. Vocals come in as well. The chorus is uplifting. "Generations" is over 12 minutes long and starts slowly.Reserved vocals and piano join in. An aggressive sound later with rough vocals. "Reawakening" is an impressive instrumental with piano to start before the heaviness and crisp drumming kicks in. It eventually blends into "Scum Of Society" as vocals join the heavy soundscape. A dark and heavy sound here with nasty organ runs.Riffs end it. "Spiral Of Pain" is almost 30 minutes long and of course takes us on an epic journey. It even reminds me of RUSH during one section. A solid 4 stars.
