CAST MARK FOUR DECADES OF PROG WITH 20TH ALBUM
Mexican veterans return with “very diverse” Vigesimus.
Mexican prog veterans Cast have marked their fourth decade with the release of 20th album Vigesimus. Bassist and manager Carlos Humaran says the record is a reaffirmation of their classic style.
“It has very epic and very symphonic passages,” he adds, “but the postproduction work takes us into different textures, with a light touch of world music.” He singles out the track Unknown Wise Advice for its “very diverse passages that go from beautiful melodies to powerful guitar riffs, culminating in a display of virtuosity of melodic lines.”
Humaran reports that the current line-up are proud to be part of founding member Alfonso Vidales’ catalogue, noting: “We believe that friendship and art will continue to drive us. We aim to offer another new album in the near future with a lot of quality and heart.”
