Forest Field – Seasons (Digipack CD, 2019)

Forest Field play melodic, symphonic, sometimes progressive, hard rock, heavily spiced with synths, samples, and energetic guitar work. Peter Cox calls his music “elaborate rock.” Seasons is a rather long album, with the usual musical suspects well represented. Seasonal themes come with the instrumental Spring Is Coming, Rain In May, Autumn Sky, Storm In November, and the outro On The Edge Of Winter, another instrumental tune. Of all the songs within Seasons you can be also pleased with Rain In May, something of a rising ballad that features acoustic guitar accompanied by cello. All said, with Forest Field’s Seasons, Peter Cox continues his consistent production of synth and guitar heavy melodic progressive rock. If you liked his previous material, you enjoy this one as well.
