You have got to agree – this is a great name for a band. This is their first album released in 2016. It’s quite hard to describe the band’s sound but think of something like a mix of metal, thrash, Prog and shoegaze and you may start to get an image of their sound. They remind me of a bit of Devin Townsend in places though.
It’s an album you have to listen to deeply – you can’t just dive in and play a track and move on – it demands your attention as there is a lot going on to digest. Tracks like Up And Atom really go for the throat – it’s a full on tech metal guitar fest. Drummer, Matt St Jean, must be on some sort of extra curricular substance as his energy and drumming is full on – he can’t be human as the track Resin is nuts. Ironically, the track Violence (with that title you would expect a full on assault) is an ambient zone out piece. Air is my favourite as the technicality and guitars are incredible.
I’m quite happy to have this as my lone excursion into their world as I’m not sure my brain could cope with something this intense constantly.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
