It’s great to see the upturn in interest of Intervals. They are getting endorsement from Wolfgang Van Halen with a support slot on some of his headline shows.
This is album number five for the band and Aaron Marshall has knocked it way out of the park on this one. Super cool use of keys, samples, sound design, and programming alongside the heavy grooves and Aaron’s killer playing. I love every second of this masterpiece and I have probably played this more than any other album in a long while.
Mnemonic has to be one of the best tunes I have heard in forever. It’s like listening to a dance song but for metal tech kids. The grooves and rhythms are just epic and the playing is so melodic but insanely good. Galaxy Brain is very similar but with added depth and chunk to the mix. I was trying to get my head around this whole concept of Memory Palace and the thing that keeps popping into my head is “if music was a video game.” Not sure if that makes sense, but it’s the best my aging brain can do.
Go and listen to this on iTunes or Spotify and then go and buy a physical copy from those nice people at Sheet Happens. It will be the best decision you will make this year.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
