Genesis by Chaplin’s Dream
“Genesis could better said as a doomy progressive metal effort. Chaplin’s Dream guys can balance well the doomy parts with the needed heavyness and the progressive tunes. But I can’t forget the sabbathish guitars! The highlight to Genesis.”
– Metal Addicts
“Chaplin’s Dream’s album “Genesis” is a must have for all lovers of prog sonorities, as well as lovers of good music in general. This piece of art is complete, complex, meticulous, and ingenious. I’m looking forward to seeing how these guys are going to evolve, and I’m sure they’ll make a beautiful journey through the paths of music. With “Genesis”, they managed to reach the prog climax.”
