Description:
Xxv is an album by Pallas, released in 2011. The album is a progressive rock CD. -
"XXV" is a studio album by the Scottish progressive rock band Pallas, released in 2011 on CD format. This ambitious record marks the band's return with new vocalist Paul Mackie and showcases their signature blend of symphonic arrangements, powerful guitar work, and thought-provoking lyrics. The album explores themes of dystopia and human struggle through epic tracks like "Falling Down," "Crash and Burn," and "Monster." Pallas has been a prominent figure in the neo-progressive movement since the early 1980s, earning acclaim for albums such as "The Sentinel" (1984) and "The Dreams of Men" (2005). Their ability to evolve while maintaining their core sound has garnered them a loyal international following. The release comes from MASCOT LABEL GROUP, an independent label renowned for supporting innovative rock acts across Europe. Mascot Label Group is known for its dedication to high-quality releases in genres ranging from blues-rock to metal, working with artists who push musical boundaries.
XXV is a concept album by Pallas and follow up to their debut Sentinel (from 1984). Also, this is their first album featuring new vocalist Paul Mackie, replacing Alan Reed. Overall I did like this album although when listening I never had impression that I was listening to Pallas. Sound on this record is more oriented toward hard/heavy prog and even symphonic metal in some cases - so I can understand that some fans had problem with band moving from their unique sound. If you don't see that as a problem and you are open minded then you will find this as a very good modern prog release overall. This record comes in jewel case with very rich booklet and great artwork inside.
