Silent Chambers - Thousand Victories (Silent Chambers)
Silent Chambers are a prog/folk acoustic project from Netherlands which present themselves to the world with this very promising and warm debut album. This is not a loud album, but an acoustic elegy, which while essentially simple, it evokes multitudes of emotions reverberating throughout the excellent tracks of the album. Vocalist Jeroen Voogd echoes strongly as a prog/acoustic amalgam of Bruce Dickinson with Steve Hogath (Marillion), while Robert Spaninks (percussion), Sander Heerings (keyboards) and Martijn Balsters (guitars) provide the minimalistic musical backdrop that the songs need to shine. The album is not a one-trick pony, as one can see an amount differentiation between tracks, with some tracks ("Down My Spine") being more straightforward than others ("Moonlets"). This release does not break any new ground, however the combination of excellent compositions with truly inspired vocals make this among the best releases of the year on the softer side of rock music.
Below are the audio tracks for "Down my Spine" and "Moonlets".
