markproxy I loved From the Abyss on my first listen, and this whole album is quickly becoming a favorite. Deep grooves; some great prog moments without being overly clean or noodly; contagious energy; lots of 70s metal and rock influences, without feeling like a knock-off of any one sound. Favorite track: From the Abyss.

muschiosauro Oh, this masterwork makes my mind travel back and forth in time, starting from 70s Yes, moving on to 90s Italian cult psych-grunge band Karma, and then all the way to Reflections-era Elder and Khan from down-under.
This is Mr. Bison's fourth LP and, to me, it's also the first one where they fully manage to conflate all their influences into a unique, organic, enthralling, liquid yet tempestuous sound. Can totally see why this album put the guys on Heavy Psych Sound radar. Favorite track: From the Abyss.

Harry Harrison I have previously compared Mr Bison with ‘Elder’ but by doing this, I feel like I’m doing Mr Bison a disservice. Yes; their sounds are comparable. It’s just that, on average, Mr Bison’s last 3 albums have well out performed Elder’s last 3 efforts. The soundscape of Seaward is just majestic and is a worthy addition to any psychedelic collection. If you like Space/Prog/Heavy Psych/Stoner; then this is an album for you. It’s really quite sublime. Favorite track: I'm the Storm.

about

SEAWARD

The Album Concept draws inspiration from the sea and from the legend of the 7 pearls of the Tyrrhenian Sea, graphically developed in a visionary way by the artist Robin Gnista. The legend tells that Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, leaving the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea proceeding towards the mainland to meet Eros, trying to adjust the necklace donated by Paris, broke the necklace, letting 7 pearls slide into the water, where they magically , remained on the surface and began to be populated by flora and fauna, giving life to the 7 wonderful islands of the Tuscan archipelago.

SEAWARD as an imaginary horizon, is developed in 7 passages as a reference to the 7 pearls of the Tyrrhenian, narrating myths closely related to the sea, from the magic of the Sirens and the sacrifice of Andromeda to the heroic adventures of Ulysses and the ruthless curse of Scylla. 7 like Aphrodite’s pearls and the number of days in each moon phase, which affects the tides and the mood of each individual who, during magical moments of solitude and reflection, finds refuge in the horizon and in the wonderful echo of the vibrations of this majestic expanse of water, looking “towards the sea”.


SEAWARD (ITA)
La stesura dell’album trae ispirazione dal mare e dalla leggenda delle 7 perle del Tirreno graficamente sviluppata in modo visionario nell’artwork dall’ artista Robin Gnista. La Leggenda narra di Afrodite dea dell’amore e della Bellezza, che, uscendo dalle acque del Mar Tirreno, procedendo verso la terra ferma dove l’ aspettava Eros, tentando di aggiustarsi la collana donata da Paride ruppe il monile, la dea riuscì a trattenere con le mani gran parte delle perle ma 7 di esse caddero in acqua, magicamente non affondarono, rimanendo in superfice iniziarono a popolarsi di flora e fauna dando vita alle 7 isole dell’arcipelago Toscano.

SEAWARD in quanto immaginario d’orizzonte, viene sviluppato dalla band Toscana con 7 brani come le 7 perle del tirreno narrando di miti strettamente legati al mare, dalla magia delle Sirene al sacrificio di Andromeda alle eroiche vicessitudini di Ulisse e della sua ciurma, alla spietata maledizione di Scilla. 7 come le perle e come i giorni della fase lunare legata alle maree e all’umore di ogni individuo che come descrive la parola SEAWARD “verso il mare” in quei magici momenti di solitudine e riflessione trova rifugio nel meraviglioso eco delle vibrazioni di questa maestosa distesa di acqua.
