Surya Kris Peters- There´s light in the Distance (Kozmik Artrifactz)

Kris is back with another fantastic album. It was released digitally in Jan 2025 but the vinyl is out at the end of April. It starts off with the moody track, Karmic Repeat,  driven by an intense bass synth and drum track. The track really gets going when the great lead guitar kicks in and off he goes.. What a great heavy riff on this one..  Crushing the Walls of Silence starts with a modular synth loop and then some guitar is played over the top before the drums kick in. This one goes thru several shorter movements in its evolution. Great riff. Life is just a Dream is a slower piece with some beautiful guitar playing.. The Darkness they Prefer is a haunting piece of music.  Embrace Your Enemy changes the mood a lot and is mostly synth based but then some killer guitar kicks in. Lovely feel on this one.  If he did not play so beautifully, I would say, leave the guitar out but damn… Mode Azul has a nice bass line that everything builds off of on this journey.  What a great hypnotic riff that comes in here and there inbetween the solo parts.  A Night In The Desert (and a long way from home) starts with a bit of a storm and then the main song fades up with another haunting moody guitar riff and the main groove and drums really starts to pick up as does the intensity. What a great melody and feel on this track. Red Satin & Pearls starts with synths and drums with a nice use of repeated synths (sound a bit like horns) and melodic guitar lines as it builds in energy and then dies out. Let's Wait Out The Storm closes this masterpiece..  Lovely way to end the album…  There is also a digital bonus track called Tough Love.  Some of this stuff could easily been the template for later day SBE material so if you are a fan of SBE, for sure check this awesome album out. What a great talent this man has….
