Shores of the Abstract Line

HYPNO5E's 3rd album Shores of the Abstract Line is a dreamily muscular response to the deep feelings of yearning and displacement which burn within us. Delicate passages of reminiscence merge with deep seated rage to form a panoptic portrait of the human condition. Latin influences blend seamlessly with riff-driven prog to form a heady concoction that toys with the accepted modes and structures of progressive music. There is a fine line between madness and genius and this record exists on the very edge of that precipice – the album is certainly a challenging, but deeply rewarding experience.

Hypno5e - Shores of the Abstract Line review: Shores of the Abstract Line is a sprawling behemoth of an album that requires attention and multiple listens to truly appreciate, but it is worth the effort.
