| 3.5 great | ManiacBlasphemer | September 30th 19 |
Until 3 days ago I had no idea this band existed and it took me just that, 3 days and a few spins to actually get into them. Above all else, this is progressive metal music with a clear death metal influence. Whoever labeled this alternative rock is clearly tone-deaf. Just because they have some slower parts that tend to be more on the acoustic side that doesn't make them alternative rock. The chick singing, forgot her name is similar with the one from Jinjer in terms of vocal delivery. She can do both screams, growls and very good clean singing thus allowing the band members to explore different chromatic sounds. Plenty of highlights on this album, tracks 2, 3, 4, the epic gargantuan Crevasee, a real progressive jewel which I haven't heard in a long time and last 2 tracks. A few fillers here and there but overall a very solid debut album. Kudos to the band members for not introducing too much instrumental wankery, which is the major con of most progressive bands. They tend to show-off their instrumental skills too much and forget the songwriting aspect of their music. Not here though. And unlike other progressive metal bands, the guitarists did not get the bad idea of cramming too many riffs in the music.
