Orient Express - Illusion(2007, My Kingdom Music) on Bandcamp



The first Orient Express release is an emotional trip full of suggestion, which combines hypnotic moments to obsessive and cutting accelerations, straight riffs and inspired melodies, in a clear Motorpsycho, God Machine mood, with strong references to psychedelic 70’s Rock scene. The sound of the band, dragged by the rhythmic section, is getting more kaleidoscopic since the introduction of the synthesizers, that enriches the expectant and dark atmospheres, and emphasizes the emotional, expanded and chasing progressions. Have a nice trip!
