Album Review
Zenith Myth – “Zenith Myth”
The debut, self-titled album from Zenith Myth is a journey through a progressive rock landscape. The mostly instrumental disc has a highly experimental, prog rock feel to it, but never seems to get convoluted or over indulgent as do many discs of this nature. Quite the opposite can be said; I think this is because some of the songs like “Surgical Gain” are spatial and ethereal. The other potential pitfall with many experimental/progressive bands is the ability to sustain the listener’s attention for the commonly found longer-than-average song lengths. I think Zenith Myth does a good job here as well because even the discs’ opener “Zenith Myth”, which tops out at over 9 minutes, doesn’t become boring in the least. This disc is a bit outside of the box, but I feel there are enough bright spots and surprises to make it well worth a listen.
