Our Take

Ah, King Crimson - the prog rock gods that continue to dazzle us with their mind-bending compositions and mind-melting musicianship. And their latest album, "Thrakin," is no exception.

From start to finish, "Thrakin" takes listeners on a sonic journey through space and time, weaving intricate melodies and thunderous rhythms with a ferocity that only King Crimson can muster.

The opening track, "Lost in the Cosmos," sets the tone for the album with its dizzying array of time signatures and virtuosic guitar solos. It's a tour de force that immediately grabs your attention and refuses to let go.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Neptune's Beard" and "The Crimson King" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, moving effortlessly from jazz-infused grooves to blistering rock anthems.

But it's the epic closing track, "The Interstellar Waltz," that truly solidifies King Crimson's place in the pantheon of prog rock legends. Clocking in at over 15 minutes, this sprawling masterpiece is a testament to the band's ability to push boundaries and defy expectations.

So, if you're a fan of music that challenges the status quo and pushes the limits of what's possible, then "Thrakin" is a must-listen. King Crimson have once again proven why they are truly in a league of their own.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
