Finally released—one of the finest prog rock works of 2006. HAL & RING, a powerhouse heavy-organ progressive band in the direct lineage of 1970s prog, deliver a release worthy of closing out the year. Formed by merging the pre-SHINGETSU band HAL with RING, the group re-recorded their classic compositions—originally written in the dense creative atmosphere of the era—with renewed energy and precision.
With a heavy, narrative-driven organ sound reminiscent of EGG and THE NICE, the album ALCHEMY features spirited guitar performances by Haruhiko Tsuda (SHINGETSU). In composition, performance, atmosphere, and recording quality, the work stands out as an authentic and distinguished progressive rock masterpiece.
