Medley Of A Life
Self-Released, 2025
9/10
The Berlin prog-rockers Mihrax put out 2 releases in 2025, and this EP that unfolds like one song about a person’s life in 5 parts continues their blend of neo-prog, metal, rock, and pop.
“First Steps” opens with ambience and the sounds of a baby, as a dreaminess surrounds the emotive singing, and “Die Another Day” follows with a more dense approach, where Thorsten Schlüter’s driving guitar is met with Andreas Wittwer’s thumping drums.
At the halfway point is where “Jigsaw Of Life” lands, and it swirls with melody and buzzing moments via Tobias Graef’s meticulous keyboards, while “Closed Circle” is a mesmerizing moment thanks to the playful keys and Boris Elfert’s expressive singing that’s heartfelt.
“Peace” exits and indeed is calming due to the graceful musicianship and textured finish to a very thoughtful listen.
A concept record that we can all relate to, Mihrax again bring their progressive rock ways to moments that can be symphonic or hard hitting, and it’s yet another creative and memorable addition to their growing catalog.
