Prog metallers Vanden Plas 2019 album, The Ghost Xperiment: Awakening,once again offers a perfect combination of hard and melodic music, while the orchestral arrangements here are more in the background compared to the previous album. At the same time, the quintet comes close to its original roots, such as The God Thing or Far Off Grace. There are more progressive elements in the songs, similar to what one knows from earlier releases. The six, mostly long, pieces achieve an impressive and fascinating effect through a very band-oriented arrangement, so that the clear and intensive urgency of the songs shines through naturally and unpretentiously. The listener is captivated from the start, first by the songs, that each deserve to be called epic, and then the lyrics, which one is drawn into the story and begins to experience the same emotional adventure as the protagonist, Gideon Grace. The Ghost Xperiment – Awakening is based on an actual documented paranormal experiment. The main character in the story, created by frontman Andy Kuntz, is Gideon Grace, who must constantly fight for his life against the relentless shadows of the House Of Rain as he wanders through France. Burdened with a heavy weight of sorrow following the agonizing death of his beloved Ivy, Gideon’s pain is also the driving force in a war with his demons. He expands his knowledge with books he finds in the library of a German school of metaphysics and it is there that he reads about secret teachers and parapsychological experiments, which become an important foundation from which he can fight against the creatures of darkness. After the first showdown with these demons, rather than finding peace, the insights Gideon learns from this fight tear open a hole deep into the abyss of Hell… The Ghost Xperiment: Awakening is a phenomenal album where Vanden Plas once again shows that they belong among the elite bands of the Prog Metal scene.
