Wobbler - Afterglow (CD)
From Our Friends at Karisma Records
Mixing a strong sense of tradition with originality, Hinterland (2005) had launched Wobbler as one of the rising stars of traditional progressive rock. Many fans were asking for the early demo they did in 2003, and these tracks were re-recorded with the full band for Afterglow. The strong influence of black metal can be heard both in the surprising power and aggression of some sections, as well as the structure and tonality of many of the riffs. Paradoxically, Afterglow was also a more dyed-in-the-wool proggy prog rock album, with its epic-length compositions and detours into renaissance and baroque music.
Afterglow was also a well-received record, scratching the itch that fans had felt for those early demos, and cementing the band's position as a leading light among "retro" prog bands. Afterglow was the start for one of the best progressive rock bands that emerged in the early 2000’s.
