"The Eye of Bosch" is the first album in the StarBast Chronicles, immersing listeners into the philosophical and emotional world of Holger Schmidt's eponymous book. The album's eight compositions explore the symbolism of the seven deadly sins, revealing them through the sounds of progressive rock, jazz, and blues. The modern sound, intertwined with the classic styles of the 70s and 80s, creates a powerful musical backdrop to the book's narrative, where each sin is portrayed not just as a moral category, but as a profound inner experience.
The album's central piece, "Soul," is an instrumental track with the lead played on saxophone. It embodies the soul being tested by the seven deadly sins and emphasizes the album's central philosophical theme.
The enchanting voice of the lead vocalist, present throughout the other tracks, along with the refined backing vocals, creates a distinctive sound that binds the entire album into a cohesive audiovisual experience.
"The Eye of Bosch" is not just music, but an audiovisual journey that uncovers the mysteries of human nature through art. Each melody invites the listener not only to delve into the symbolism of the sins but to reflect on their significance for every individual.
