Foscor are masters at creating a beautifully dark atmosphere, and the use of their native tongue, Catalan, gives these songs a dream-like quality. Edges are blurry (much like how the band views genre restrictions), and while Les Irreals Visions is often mid-tempo, the band’s sense of progressive (and genuinely surprising) songcraft is on full display. The choice to go (almost) all-in on clean vocals was a wise choice, as the often multi-layered voices are sublime. Their melodies are often uplifting, which contrasts well with the somber music surrounding it.
On their fourth record Foscor have finally blossomed into a beautiful dark progressive rock/metal behemoth. Their stunning display of restraint and truly progressive song structures create a listening experience that transports the listener into a dreary dreamscape, and it’s very easy to want to stay there for quite a while (new noise magazin)
