Metamorphosis – I’m Not a Hero (Progressive Promotion Records, 2021)
“I’m Not a Hero” is the sixth album from Swiss band Metamorphosis. The space rock group is deeply influenced by 1990s Pink Floyd and German progressive rock band Eloy.
Metamorphosis skillfully uses spacy synths, majestic choirs, distant voices, effects, and soaring guitars. The best moments are the instrumental sections with keyboards, bass and drums. On the down side, Metamorphosis employs tiresome heavy guitar riffing as well, borrowed from prog metal.
Metamorphosis is led by Swiss composer, keyboardist, and vocalist Jean-Pierre Schenk. The rest of the band includes Olivier Guenat on guitars, bass; and Alain Widmer on drums.
