Mono Part 2 - Rays of Darkness (2014) and the Last Dawn (2014)

There were another albums I could have chosen to make this second post like To my Parents from 2012 for example, but I decided to go with this double album for one simple reason, it's the one where there are more differences, the sound gained a darker and stronger atmosphere, o  Hymn to the Immortal Wind the sound resembled us the pureness of snow, the white color, now the Black, the darkness gain more strength, but with that the band didn't lose their energy and quality, it's just a change in the way they were following
Rays of Darkness and The Last Dawn (Double album, 2014)
From Rays of Darkness I leave you one of the most heavy songs I know from them, more connected to Metal then anything they have, Recoil, ignite


From The Last Dawn I leave you, Where we Begin, another marvelous music in sequence with some of the sound we heard in Follow the Map.

Mono part 1 - Hymn to the Immortal Wind (2009)

Greetings as I was making my last post, I checked I haven't talked about Mono so far, And tough for those Who might no get my references on Aesthesys post, might get them here
I had the luck to be in a concert of Mono in May 2015 and it's just an amazing trip around the emotions and feelings, which feels so good.
Their sound I would say has a rich environment, with something to be given to the listener. This album has a soft tone in it, some tunes that will be resonating in your head forever, if it has the same effect it had in me
but enough of words, which I can't find to properly define the majesty of this Japanese song, some of the songs are the most beautiful I ever heard. The magic of Progressive on it's best


Starting with Pure as Snow, here play live at Holy Ground: NYC With The Wordless Music Orchestrain 2010
