Our Take

Ah, RUPHUS. The Norwegian prog rock band that never fails to surprise and delight. Their latest album, "Manmade," is a true masterpiece of experimental soundscapes and intricate melodies.

From the moment the opening track "Machinery" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band effortlessly weaves together elements of jazz, folk, and classical music to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Each song on the album is a journey in itself, taking the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions and sonic exploration.

Lead singer Morten Halle's vocals soar and dip, carrying the listener along with him on a wave of pure musical ecstasy. The band's tight instrumentation and impeccable timing make each track a work of art in its own right.

Standout tracks include the epic "Artificial Intelligence," with its haunting piano melodies and pulsating rhythms, and the ethereal "Man vs. Machine," which perfectly encapsulates the album's themes of technology and humanity.

"Manmade" is a triumph of creativity and innovation, a bold statement from a band unafraid to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. RUPHUS have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the prog rock scene today. Do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
