Let's continue with the #zot2016 review, this time mentioning an album that frankly left me quite indifferent, but which might instead appeal to others who perhaps are more into certain sounds than I am.

His Name Is Alive - Patterns Of Light (Light In The Attic).

Released last November, 'Patterns Of Light' is the latest album from His Name Is Alive, the project led by Warren Defever and founded back in 1990. The album is characteristically rich in experiments within the heavy-psych sound, but oriented towards a certain devotion to 1970s progressive music. It is marked by a certain new age 'sacredness' in the use of choirs and occasionally leans towards a particular doom that translates into a sound dimension almost close to metal. Conceptually, the album is rich in certain mannerisms and patterns typical of the seventies that may resonate with some but not with others. There is also a certain acidity in the sound of the guitars and some moments of space ambient music that contribute to making this album more of a 'music opera' than a collection of actual songs. As far as I'm concerned, it is definitely too much in every possible sense, but someone else might regard it as a great album precisely for that specific reason.
