Hear My Voice Tonight (Seven Steps to The Green Door, 2019)

Seven Steps to The Green Door are an interesting band from Germany active since 2006 and producing an innovative musical mix ranging from neo-prog to hard rock and from melodic ballads to intricate long tracks. This song comes from their 2019 album titled "The ? Lie", a concept work dealing with religious fanaticism and its tragic outcomes. "Hear My Voice Tonight" is a ten minutes track with strong melodic roots and including unpredictable, strategically placed mood changes. 

There's more to this concept: "The ? Book" (2011) and "The ? Truth" (2024)

Jazzy passages, dreamy landscapes, intense progressions grace this track and made it a treat for the prog ears. I especially like the wind instruments that enrich this track providing a warm and rippled finale. The instrumental skills of the band members and their guest musicians are the final touch to this beautiful piece of music.
