Sometimes, progression can be a ridiculous thing. Despite, it's always healthy for an artist to venture, grow, and expand their sound even if there is a risk in completely flopping the entire art if it's not executed well. Well, on the Blueprint Dives Extol don't precisely care about the risk and pretty much shed their entire death metal sound for a rather challenging yet rewarding experimental prog. metal album. Here, all the musicians excel incredibly bringing their unique influences into the bag. The band manages to bring the off-kilter beats reminiscent of Opeth or Dream Theater and collide it with the atmosphere/vocals of Radiohead & Deftones. The album might come of a bit odd with the amount of experimentation thrown into the album-but on the flip coin that's what makes this album such a unique listen. The band is christian, however the lyrics aren't overtly explicit and can certainly be enjoyed whether you are one or not. It's a shame that the band for the most part is done but they certainly ended their career making not only their best album, but one of the most unique and challenging prog. metal albums ever.
