Sometime when you write reviews, you receive luckily some original albums. This is not a habit believe me, but yes it can happen. This is the case with this cd "Inferno" of Mr Scott Mosher. I receive a lot of albums but with such originality, damn that's not common. Scott uses to play a very Progressive Metal, very electronic with a lot of excellent ambiances, hum just something perfect when you need in the evening after a long day of work to listen to good music at home?

"Inferno" is not really easy of access because that the music of Scott is more than complex. In fact I could recommend for you to listen to this cd when you really want to listen to carefully and in peace some music. Why? Well just because this cd needs a lot of attention, and if you don't have time it will be a shame, because you couldn't feel all the ambiances featured in this cd.
This is pure Prog Metal, very progressive and the numerous electronic sounds are for sure very presents but for all the ones who don't like this kind of stuffs, don't worry, because in fact these sounds are just here to give an excellent futurist ambiance on each tracks. Really the ambiances on this album can be a bit dark sometime but all are impressive, touching, and this futurist aspect in the music is really excellent, I really like it?
Of course, you will find all that you need if you are a pure fan of Prog Metal, guitars, solo, great and complex melodies [all that with in general a slow tempo] and also a good singer. For some aspects maybe, I can compare it to a band like Porcupine Tree or why not a Joe Satriani on some of his albums [the more electronics like a Time Machine for example]?
Greta lyrics, catchy songs you have all that you need and want if you are a fan of avant-gardist music. Yeah that's great prog no more...
My only regret come from the production of the cd. I don't talk about the cover and the booklet which are good, but the sound of the cd. Don't worry it's ok, but it could be better? With a better sound in fact this cd could touch the perfection, that's the only problem of the cd, and I say it again, don't worry because it's not bad but could be better that's all?

Inferno is a must have for all the fans of Prog who want something new and totally uncommon. Scott Mosher is a great musician who shows us through his new release that he really need to be know. Honestly I like a lot this album and I can only recommend it to you, the ones who like great music. A must have no doubt on it?
