\u2018In the face of the unknown\u2019 is the fourth album by Canadian band Huis. The band plays a mix of melodic rock, AOR and Progressive Rock. There are no less than four keyboardists, especially they are important for the rich sound and beautiful melodies. As expected, there are a lot of keyboard sounds, in addition there is an alternation of acoustic and electric guitar playing. At times, the guitar playing is compelling and tender. Also on this album, the bass and\/or drums are occasionally in the foreground. There are plenty of interchanges between rocking and minimalist parts, the (sometimes quite large) volume differences flow just fine. Sylvain Desc\u00f4teaux’s voice suits the music, the emotion can be heard in his voice. Sometimes the (stacked) vocals are a bit sugarly in sound. The sound is well spread over the headset, revealing the nuances.
\u2018Failing\u2019 is a duet with \u00c9lo\u00efse Joncas, fans have long known that her voice is a fine blend with Sylvain’s. This beautiful closing track ends quite unexpectedly. The eight songs are well constructed, there is a lot to listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
