ECHOVERSE - Whispers Between Worlds (POST Visual Cliff Album)

90% Rating in 2024 for this excellent Prig Rock album

We love singing the praises of progressive rock, and the EchoVerse August of 2024 independent debut full length Whispers Between Worlds, with its technically sophisticated and multifarious sounds, gives us plenty to croon about.  Technically sophisticated from manner in which the group emphasizes lengthy songwriting in the six to seven minute range but also extending into 30-minute ‘mega epic’ territory alongside coherent time and tempo changes and bountiful instrumental excursions.  Multifarious in light of how EchoVerse coalesces (often within the same song) diverse musicals forms including but not limited to classic rock, hard rock, jazz-fusion, classical music, blues and ballad-like AOR.

Lyrically, the twofold EchoVerse goal is to ‘(explore) faith and the human condition through progressive rock’, and ‘(blend) meticulous musicianship with spiritual insights’ (quoting its press material either way).  More specifically, the group makes it a point to take the listener on ‘a profound journey through faith and introspection’ while ‘(reflecting) the influence of Spock’s Beard, Rush and Dream Theater’ (again, referencing its press material).  That said, I might add Kansas, Shadow Gallery and Neal Morse to the list.

Of note is manner in which Whispers Between Worlds is guitar driven progressive rock, as revealed in high energy opening six-minute cut “Not Like The Other”.  It allows guitarist Rob Perez, noted for his work with veteran progressive rock act Visual Cliff, to showcase his skilled licks and chops ranging from elaborately fast paced to borderline hard rock to fusion filled soloing.  All the while Hammond B3 underscores the abuzz scene as Kyle Fagalo unveils his rousing timekeeping.  Songs vibrant yielding would not sound out of place on 2021 P.J. Bostic solo album Faith Of Least Resistance.  Lyrically, the song ‘confronts the hypocrisy within modern churches, highlighting the emptiness of outward displays of faith without genuine love’:
