I read a few negative reviews of this album. But I am wiling to give any new band a listen. Especially anyone offering theirs for free. And listing Deftones and ISIS as influences.
But after hearing their fantastic debut album I was wondering if the reviewers of this album were listening to the same album. As its another cracking album out there to be found on the web. I can hear their progressive, down tempo elements but I can hear elements of Stoner, Doom and Sludge as well.
The album had me head-banging from start to finish. These guys are hugely talented to stand out from the rest of the Sludge/Post-Metal crowd. And since they are British as well. It shows Britain can produce quality Prog-Metal/Sludge Metal Bands. And these guys are amongst the best they are.
Britain has lost so many quality Sludge/Stoner/Doom Bands of late. It is great to see there is still hope out there.
Since they are working for on Album No 2. I for one cant wait to hear any future material.
Standout Tracks are The Last and Reflections. Both show what these guys can do when they mix prog-metal with Sludge/Post Metal influences.
The album is available for free download from their Bandcamp site. It has 4 tracks and is on for 35 minutes or so. Excellent Album!!!!
