Good to hear Swano's inhuman roars again. While this doesn't represent his peak works (I'm not aware of his partner's works), it does find itself a niche in the progressive metal genre as something very distinct and conceptual in nature. So overall, it still is solid, and every now and again the compositions will surprise. Definitely worth a listen.

It isn't at the same level as Moontower or Crimson, but The Inheritance is still a worthwhile listen. Dan Swano's growls are just as formidable as ever, and his drumming, singing, and synth work are great as well. The other member of the band, Ragnar Widerberg, does a fantastic job too. He plays some truly epic guitar solos (almost as epic as his moustache). The problem with this album is that it lacks the fantastic sense of unity, and also the consistently exciting songwriting, of Moontower or Crimson. The second half is comparatively dull, and the record ends on a solo piano track that, while nice, is only around a minute long and doesn't help that aforementioned lack of unity. Overall, The Inheritance leaves something to be desired.

Weird prog/melodeath concept record from mastermind Dan Swano. This album take you on a roller coaster ride of heavy riffs, mellow parts, dark and colorful places punched with growls, cleans, bluesy-growled vocals. The production on this is unreal, showing the prowess of Swano both as a musician and producer.

A mix of genres and rhythms.rAnd the voice!rYou see how is like compared with other bands:r"Similar Bands: Judas Priest, Voivod, Marillion, King Crimson, Mercyful Fate"rlolrI would easily add Edge of Sanity or even Opeth.rAnyway is just that is pleasant to listen to it, over and over again.rI was a fan of Dan since I heard of Edge of Sanity and then I checked out other of his projects, not all of them cool for me, for ex Bloodbath(although is with Mikael!!!), but the versatility of this genius cannot be denied.rI hope he can produce more

The immensely over-the-top style of clean singing Swano employs on this album renders an
otherwise largely successful disc rather cheesy.
