When the blind white lion is roaring below Theodor´s walls ... Progressive Rock, princesses and psychopaths, Martigan´s lullaby and its trenchant adult version. Mind-inspiring tales from another time, told inweaving oppressive current happenings. Childish openness and mazy cerebral gyri full of ataractics. Vivid Prog picture book of musical opposites, highly emotional while juggling with different styles and memories. With blazing soul all this became true sound and ... where bouncy castles turn into stony dungeons, the fog-pervading barking of a pack of dogs sounds like (still) distant monsters ... After a sensed eternity of six years Martigan are finally presenting the successor to Vision - and it was worth the wait. 75 minutes of Distant Monsters are simply symphonic Neo-Prog at its best.
