Progressive Rock, Classic Rock,
Limited edition CD kiadvány, 2022-es album.
As usual The Tirith cover many bases within the Prog Rock genre, from powerful riff-based sequences, through stunning guitar solos to Prog ballads. The material is often hard to define, but is song based, powerful and, in contrast to many Prog bands, guitar led. The album has been expertly produced and mixed by Tim Cox. All in all the band feel that “Return of the Lydia” is a big step forward for The Tirith.
Originally formed in 1971 as Minas Tirith, the young band from Loughborough folded a couple of years later. However, fast-forward to 2010 and Richard ‘Dick’ Cory (vocals/bass) and Tim Cox (guitar) decided to give it another go and reformed, shortening their name to The Tirith. In 2015, with Carl Nightingale now on drums, they finally released their debut album, „Tales from the Tower” – a re-working and development of material from their early days.
This was successfully followed by „A Leap in the Dark” in 2019, which further consolidated their musical progress. Mixing sci-fi and fantasy lyrics with more contemporary subjects in a diverse and broad range of musical influences, such as Rush, Styx, Pendragon, Pallas and Saga, along with Pink Floyd, Wishbone Ash and Deep Purple, the band have much to offer prog and classic rock listeners.
„Return of The Lydia” is a natural continuation of their musical journey, which not only maintains their signature sound but develops it further. With new drummer Paul Williams completing the trio, and Richard and Tim supplying the proggy keyboard flourishes, there is a richness in the instrumentation throughout the changes in tempo and style demonstrated over the seven tracks.
