3.0 good | Antonius | June 19th 21 | Nick Johnston has been a profound servant of the instrumental fusion rock world for many years now. In his latest project labeled under the name 'Archival', Nick shares ideas and vocals with his childhood friend Ben Regan, as he decides to take a journey into the unchartered waters of singing/songwriting. Fear and Fate is probably the platform for the guitarist to experiment and learn how to sing before using such attributes in his solo work. Musically, the album is driven by Johnston's signature Schecter riffs and the piano aesthetics that made his solo work so distinctive. I found the rest of the instrumentation parts and vocals to lack experimentation and creativity. That safety and lack of spark made it difficult for me to engage more in this album. Recommendations: "Words I Could't Say", "Try to Remember", "Inheritance".
