Bought it off of eMusic a couple of days ago, will listen to it this weekend. Listened to a couple of songs off of YouTube already and love what I heard.
"...Sydney four piece progressive metal act Hemina is preparing for the release of the third studio album, "Venus," on November 11th. A lyric video for the new song "Moonlight Bride" can be viewed in the player below.
"Venus" is an 80 minute concept album detailing and examining domestic violence, relationships, and individuality in the 21st century with a narrative arc to accompany and elaborate on their previous conceptual output..."
The new one combines the best elements of the first two. I can certainly understand not getting into either of those, but this new one is a different beast altogether. The only turnoff to me are the djenty guitars used throughout several songs; they have such rich guitar tones on many of their leads that I just wish they would stick to those instead.
