CD/DVD Releases: Hourglass Release ''Oblivious To The Obvious''

Posted on Sunday, May 10 @ 18:00:00 UTC by nightowl

139 minutes: a magic number requiring more than four years and a monumental effort. For the five members of the Utah-based progressive metal band, Hourglass, their upcoming release Oblivious To The Obvious, has been worth the years of persistence to complete.

What started as a simple follow-up project to their 2004 critically-acclaimed release, Subconscious, has since transformed into an engrossing and extended selection of hard-hitting riffs and ambient progressive rock.



Even though it is a lot of music, it is only 10 songs. Hourglass has never worried too much about the length of their songs, and epic songs have always been a part of what the band does. Oblivious To The Obvious is no exception.

Whether long-time fans or new fans are searching for something metal or something more ethereal, the newest Hourglass album offers an energizing and unique sonic journey, one that will transport the listener for two hours and 19 minutes.
