Album of the day: Colosseum – Chapter 2: Numquam

Lovingly pinched from Chronicles of Chaos.com:

The word “epic” is thrown around a lot when describing metal bands. It makes you wonder what officially constitutes a band as being “epic”.  If there are indeed real requirements to “epicness” other than being exceptionally long and engaging the listener into a fantastical tale, it is to leave all in the wake of what can be described as a twirling tsunami.

Well, if any band is truly epic, Colosseum would definitely fall into that category. The production of Chapter 2: Numquam is very clear, with the vocals and strong bass chords also giving it a gelling sense of thickness until the drumming cuts in a gaggle of geese ripping through a cloudy sky.
