“Polar Human Circle” is the fifth album by Raven Sad, a project born in 2005 on the initiative of multi-instrumentalistand main composer Samuele Santanna; since the previous “The Leaf and the Wing” (2021) the band’s line-upenjoys a solidity that perfectly reflect in the seven tracks of this work.“Polar Human Circle” is another enthralling progressive journey through intense soundscapes with a strongevocative power, aconceptwhose lyrics, sung by Gabriele Marconcini’s expressive voice, lead the listener toquestion our species’ actual survival ability. Within an international-scope sonic texture which, thanks to a hardedge and obscure side – unprecedented in the band’s music style – blends 90s prog-metal (Queensrÿche) withmore modern sounds (Riverside, Porcupine Tree, but also Marillion’s most recent works), Raven Sad combinesongs here shorter and more immediate than in the past with an epic title track that, in almost 27 minutes, unfoldsamong psychedelia, orchestral sections and dissonant fugues.Raven Sad also relied once again on Sonoria Studio (Prato, Italy) whose owner Andrea Benassai took care of thealbum’s orchestral arrangements too; on the iconographic side of things, the sidereal and tangible photographs byGustav Willeit play an equally important role, constituting an essential visual element and a concrete scenery alongthe journey of “Polar Human Circle” towards the borders of civilisation.Papersleeve CD edition.
