Om nom nom.

When there are already a dozen high-profile bands already doing the same exact thing, even a few nifty riffs or good ideas can't save it from being contrived and worse than derivative.

Everything in this song sounds ripped straight out of Tesseract songs, and if there is anything that isn't, it is instead ripped from of any number of other djenty mcdjent bands.

That's a cool story. Album is still going to be awesome.

wow this is actually pretty good

yea this song is a little more straightforward than frost persay, but still rules. also im pretty sure that segue is going right into frost.

I've probably listened to this 20 times today. I've been waiting for this album for like a year. Only thing that might top it will be Vildhjarta's new album, which is something I can't pronounce on here.

this band is way better than structures and volumes and all of those 90% groove bands.

could be better

COULD BE COCKS

@bringonthebreakdown

Agreed. I love Volumes a lot, but Uneven Structure is way better. And I've lost hope in Structures based on their new songs, awful shit.

gonna be fun as shit

Ah, much better than that last song they released, now there are those oddly like Staind clean vocals I enjoyed... (I despise Staind, but his similarity just kinda WORKS somehow)

The overly technical one-chord-only-for-half-a-minute riffing is getting very, very boring. Shame, because it otherwise sounds like a good group. Still, not going to join the ranks of Gojira, Hacride and Scarve for my go-to French metuhlz.

Not sure where you're getting Tesseract clone from, itchy. Have you even listened to them? This is a
much more "metal" (god I hate using that) version of Tesseract. And they've been working on this since
2009 so. Just so happens everyone managed to jump on the djent bandwagon while they worked on this.


Good song.

Sounds like a clone of Soilwork. But it's still better than recent Soilwork so....

I actually preferred frost.

@trilogique21: Well perhaps I was hasty in that I have only heard this one song, which may not be all-inclusive of their sound. And now that I listen to it again, I would say they more closely resemble Textures. The section between 2:30 and 3:15 and the outro in that video is what got really got me thinking Tesseract, who have also been working on their stuff for years before releasing their album.

It's surely hard to tell who did what first, and it also doesn't matter. It's just that some ideas and techniques seem so trademark to one band or the other that it just raises red flags when I hear the exact same thing from another band.
