Sometimes you can actually describe a band in just one word, Minora is one of these bands. Atmospherical is the word, in case you were wondering, that is in one word the best description of Minora’s music. There is also a three word description that equates to a little name dropping, this three word description is Dead Soul Tribe. It is musically heavy/progressive metal with tons of atmosphere all the way through and that is really the first thing you come to focus on when you listen to this band: the atmosphere in the songs. This is the main focal point for any listener really. But if we dig a bit deeper we start to find guitar driven metal that lies as the foundation for everything. The production also seems focused on this atmospherical thing which is very much driven by the vocal style of Tommie Zetterlund who reminds slightly of Devon Graves of Dead Soul Tribe in the way he performs the vocal duties of this album, I would not say that their voices are very similar though. Clean and atmospherical, almost with a sense of flying or being suspended in the air is probably the best description of how this album sound.

Imago is the debut of this band from Gothenburg in Sweden. It has ten tracks and is about 40 minutes long which of course is the ideal length of an album, within the vinyl record’s length is where I always think one should try to keep the length of a record. Another thing that strikes me with this album is how the band also seem to work to make the visible, which of course means the booklet and cover, suit the music. This is interesting to see how well the album cover reflects what we can expect to hear on the album.
