The third installment from Canada's Monarch Trail marks perhaps their strongest album todate. With music as majestic as the cover art , this band really pull out a beauty here on Wither Down! Ken Baird, the architect behind Monarch Trail, has hit the jackpot here with six classic symphonic prog tunes, the longest track alone "Megalopolitana" is some 15 minutes and musically stunning. Dino Verginella and Chris Lamont lay down some solid prog chops along the journey and adding in a few guest guitarists too (Steve Cochrane and Kelly Kereliuk). If you are a fan of IQ, Marillion, Mike Oldfield and in general symphonic rock, then Wither Down may just be your next album to purchase!
