Album Overview
The Green Chapel is another impressive modern Prog rock album from UK-based The Osiris Club
The Osiris Club have a refreshing and unique angle on the prog rock scene. The album is pretty original, we love that they seem to be wrapped up in their own proggy world
The depth and vision of Osiris Club is deep as it travels through various landscapes of progressive rock, metal, blissful acoustics and unique melodies
Hanna Petterson adds some welcome spaced-out saxophone flavor to this album. It's not over-the-top annoying either, it just fits right in
At times The Green Chapel touches upon some proggy doom once in a while ("The Green Chapel III: Winter's End") for example
The production is warm with massive sounds, you can say it's a comforting progressive rock album
This album is so engrossing as it conjures up sounds of 70's prog rock to modern progressive rock and metal

Standout Track(s)
Phantasm
This track has an odd mix of prog rock meets 90s metal band Last Crack, Yes, a weird combo, but we love it.
The Green Chapel II: Blind Hare & The Pale Lady & III: Winter's End
Great acoustics backed by intense drums and distant vocals make for one hell of a mesmerizing and peaceful track. This song bleeds right into part 3 of "The Green Chapel" tetralogy. This track is heavier and more dense, great contrast between the two.
Brew Pairing
A flavorful sour is required for listening to The Green Chapel. We recommend Mai Tai Sour by Canada based Collective Arts Brewing. This 6% fruited kettle sour has a slight aroma of a mimosa with flavors of citrus.
