Prog rock "The Trial of the King" by Chromatic Aberration
One of the things that is great about The Swamp Krewe (besides the hundreds of digital albums and exclusive CDs) is getting album recommendations from the other members. Sargent Signals recently sent me a link to the new prog rock album "The Trial of the King" by Chromatic Aberration. It's an EP by track count, and a full album by play time. Whatever you call it, this is some seriously groovy music. The album is mostly prog rock with its vocals and vibes, but the band isn't afraid to blend in a bit of psych especially when it comes to the final track with its epic length. Listen to "The Trial of the King" by Chromatic Aberration on Bandcamp:
Definitely some great guitar work going on here, which especially stands out on the longer of the two instrumental tracks, "The Incidence of Memory."
The lyrics suggest that while this might not a full-blown concept album, it's definitely thematic with songs about conflicts and kingdoms and, well, trials of kings. The music ties it all together nicely, too.
Fuzzy's Favorite: "The Trial of the King" with its epic length, although the whole album sounds great and holds up to repeated listens.
FFO: MELLOW BEAST, LOOT THE BODY, and you already know which 70s albums.
- Chromatic Aberration is from Cleveland, Ohio with members: Joe Rubio / guitars, bass, keyboards
- Steve Chait / drums, percussion, backing vocals (2, 3)
- Brett William Kull / acoustic guitar (1)
- GADD / lead vocals (2, 5)
- Simone Baldini Tosi / lead vocals (3)
Many years in the making, and definitely worth a listen for all prog and psych rock fans.

Pantheon: Volume 3 by Caustic Casanova prog rock album review by Fuzzy Cracklins
 |
| Pantheon: Volume 3 by Caustic Casanova |
I really dig the high energy combined with the heavy riffs, but at the same time we get the lively guitar work and time changes from post metal or prog. Caustic Casanova has a very fresh and catchy sound while still keeping its roots in heavy metal.
And check out their cover of Weedeater's God Luck and Good Speed -- an epic 9 minute brain basher that doubles the time of the original:
Caustic Casanova is a trio from Washington, DC. consisting of Francis Beringer on bass & vox, Stefanie Zaenker on drums & vox, and Andrew Yonki on guitar.
And check out this news: Caustic Casanova will have a track on Magnetic Eye Records Best of Black Sabbath companion record, a bonus to the Vol.4 record. Available for pre-order now at MERHQ.net. Expect it to be out April 2020.
You can listen to Caustic Casanova's Stampede from Pantheon: Volume 3 along with many other fresh tracks from the heavy underground on this month's Bandcamp comp, Earth Day:
