Max Enix, a versatile artist donning multiple hats as a composer, singer, art director, lyricist, actor etc., unveils a magnum opus with his double album, “Far From Home.” Backed by the prestigious Budapest Orchestra and featuring a long list of guest musicians (singers, guitarists etc.), this musical masterpiece promises an unparalleled sonic journey, boasting a fusion of progressive-symphonic-post rock/metal, film score and a myriad of diverse elements, including world/new age, hip hop, jazz and avant-garde influences, never heard before. “Far From Home” transcends musical boundaries, weaving a tapestry of epic, emotional and complex compositions. Enix, drawing inspiration from the likes of Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Hans Zimmer and an array of iconic artists, creates a universe of its own. The album promises a symphony that resonates with fans of various genres, from metal enthusiasts to followers of classical and world music. This double album is not a simple collection of ordinary tracks, but a conceptual music gem. It delves into the beauty of life, explores the human condition, and turns towards spirituality while simultaneously denouncing societal issues. “Far From Home” stands as a mirror to today’s world, addressing the potential consequences of our actions. “Far From Home” creates soundscapes beyond music and words, a universe that extends beyond the confines of traditional musical expression.
