Being as big a fan as I was of Scott Mosher’s 2006 album “Deep Horizon”, I was tickled 27,000 shades of pink at the announcement of Scott’s new project, Oceans Of Night. More so at the arrival in my mailbox of their debut album, “The Shadowheart Mirror”! My excitement was more than well placed… The pace was set with album opener A Way From You, a song so mind boggling perfect that it very existence defies logic! …fuck that. Take what I just said and apply it to this whole album! Scott Mosher’s progressive guitar licks and airy keyboard works are the height of all that is progy and “out-there”. Not to be outdone, with a voice that would make Geoff Tate cry with jealousy, Scott Oliva, who you may know from Wind Wraith, Last Vision Black, Inner Strength or his earlier work with Mr. Mosher (Album Drop: “Deep Horizon”). What a voice! The perfect match up to Mosher’s progressive tones. Long story short, the Scott’s do it right. “The Shadowheart Mirror” is the progressive rock/alt metal album of the fucking year!
Overall: The Scotts do it once again! If you dig progressive metal/rock, then you can’t afford to miss this album!
10/10
