On their 9th album "Inauguration", the leading German Gothic Rock act [active since 1990!] THE HOUSE OF USHER start with the epic wide-screen song "Seagulls/Only Memories Remain" that reminds of U2's "The Joshua Tree" as well as EDITOR's "An End Has A Start". But when in the following tracks it is reduced you will closer to the music of the band than ever before. The sound of the whole album is like a professionally cut diamond and it has got even brighter reflections like "Hours Away" and "What If Christ Never Came", while songs like "Shadowside" appear relaxed and mature. There is a line in this song that says "I'm on my track like a train but I'm running out of coal" which doesn't apply to the band obviously as they prove in the powerful end of the album with "Tantalus Awake!" and "Famous Last Words", songs that call the SIMPLE MINDS in their zenith back to your mind.
Released late November 2015 on Equinoxe.
