This time he deals with the shoals of the human mind, from mental illness to uncomfortable truths and agonizing self-discovery. Musically, he spans exactly the same cosmos as always, namely Floydian sceneries, equipped with strong electronic means but also hard guitars, but he succeeds with &#8220;Schizophrenia,&#8221; one of his musically most exciting works. Right away the almost twenty-minute title track unfolds slowly but powerfully, extremely proggish and gloomy, with the necessary big dynamics and a very cool, high-flying Floydian synthesizer solo.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&#8220;Foolin&#8217; Myself&#8221; shines in return with wonderful acoustic guitar. Shamall indulges in many instrumentals: sometimes neo-classical (&#8220;Thoughts&#8221;), sometimes spacey and offbeat (&#8220;On the Run&#8221;), and sometimes prog-metal opera (&#8220;World of Emotions&#8221;). Otherwise, fittingly, he often sings in high lament registers. Lots of bombastic long tracks, lots of recurrent musical themes, and, as always, everything is one continuous movie that is like a mental rollercoaster ride you have to get into.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nP.S.: Great surrealistic artwork.\r\nTop-Track: Schizophrenia\r\nBewertung: 8\/10\r\nc\/o Walter Sehrer, Eclipsed Rock Magazin 12\/2019 \u2013 01\/2020\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe track &#8220;All the Answers&#8221; is included on the new Eclipsed sampler &#8220;Music from Time and Space, Vol. 72.&#8221;\r\nMore info also on the Eclipsed website: https:\/\/www.eclipsed.de\/de\/aktuell\/music-time-and-space-vol72\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<em>&#8220;&#8230;As always, SHAMALL offers great cinema for the mind.
