Selling Insincerity is the debut release by American progressive rock band Abigail's Ghost. These Berklee College students must have really dug In Absentia and Deadwing, as the Porcupine Tree influences are beyond obvious. However the guitar hooks, terrific bass lines and Joshua Theriot's vocal talent impersonating Steven Wilson somehow escape the derivative label by simply being too interesting to ignore. Ironically the metal over rock guitar riffs predate Porcupine Tree's dalliance with progressive metal found in The Incident. Perhaps now with a debut album under its belt, Abigail's Ghost will find its own identity on the follow up.
