Daily Heavy: Scale the Summit - Bloom

This is how you make engaging instrumental music.
Scale the Summit forgo the use of a vocalist because frankly the melody lines Chris Letchford writes are so well phrased and expressive.

I love the clear prog influence on the rhythm section of this band and the use of exotic scales during the lead passages.

In my opinion the album from which this song comes from, Carving Desert Canyons, is an instrumental masterpiece - a journey through various moods and feelings.

Music as moving as this is invariably well thought out, and clearly the track arrangement for the album was given a lot of thought with regards to the impact it would have on the listener.

I urge you to listen to the whole of Carving Desert Canyons without skipping a track.
For now enjoy its opening song.
