impressivelad Great album that maybe takes a bit too much flak. Sure the second half is a bit bloated but my god the journey the first few songs on this album takes you on is incredible. Operatic, absurd, great synth, key and guitar tones throughout. Favorite track: Languor.

They came to conquer a unique universe multicolored like a rainbow & darker like a black pickled wood. Now that I'm in for another album of Seven Impale, I rely on their solid playgrounds, on their love for the details & on their diversified wealth!
Lever rationality with Seven Impales "Contrapasso"!

Wez Barber Absolutely mesmeric. Sounds like V D G generator jamming with the Mars Volta. Beautiful, perfect art, and impossible to pick a favourite track.

Zhant Much more experimental and darker than City of the Sun, Contrapasso offers variety to the band, but it also requires quite the listens before being able to fully appreciate it.

Although the record could have been a bit shorter and some songs feel somewhat empty, it still is a phenomenal record and another proof that Seven Impale are one of best prog bands that exist today. I'm excited to see what direction the band takes in the future, as they have a great potential for invention. Favorite track: Languor.

Vyacheslav Potapov (VP) In 2014, I heard the album "City of the Sun". I then said to myself that it was one of the best prog albums, 2014. When there was a message that is preparing a new album, I did not hesitate ordered it on a CD. Until today, I did not know the sound of the album as a whole. When I heard - I was shocked. This is even better than it was! Super album !!! Super Group !!!
PS. My favorite track could not be determined. I liked everything!!! Favorite track: Inertia.

about

"Contrapasso" consists of nine highly varied and complex tracks expanding upon the unique sound Seven Impale started investigating on "City of the Sun", but..... they've gone much further this time. On "Contrapasso" you find a band thar are more daring, experimental and complex. Again, they touch upon the harder soundscapes as well as including more catchy and upbeat tracks, but on this album everything goes one step further. Visiting places where no band has been before, with "Contrapasso" Seven Impale pay no heed to genre boundaries.

Melding melody, experimentation, dramatics, atmosphere and contrasting rythms, with "Contrapasso", Seven Impale has created an essential album for any fan of progressive rock!
