Symphonic rock quintet with two keyboardists dueling it out and a guitarist who also joins in in Camel-esque fashion.
“The Japanese band Neo Atlantis formed in Osaka in 2016 with the goal of playing instrumental symphonic progressive rock. After several shows over the years, the group released its first CD in 2023, aimed exclusively at the Japanese market.
Centered around the heartfelt guitar of long-time professional musician Okumura Leslie Kazuya, the five-piece band creates a symphonic worldview with the help of an innovative rhythm section and two keyboardists, expressing epic stories through sound.
This RPG-style [rock progressivo grandiose!]-style concept album is set in the year 300X, on Earth on the brink of destruction. This world is beautifully expressed through instrumental music! From the departure of a ship bound for its destination to battles en route and a city shrouded in sadness, the diverse songs will capture the listener's imagination.”
