Now here is something you don't hear much every day. A Progressive Death Metal/Post-Metal Band mixing elements of Post-Rock and Prog Rock as well.
It really shouldn't work but damn it fucking does by this excellent effort. Cryptodira is a band I have been listening to for a while and its got some heavy and brilliant riffs that should appeal to both Death Metal and Post-Metal fans alike.
Their debut EP - Recursions is a 35 minute blast of insane riffs and experimental vibes that should have you head-banging in no time at all. Check out great tracks such as Either Fly or Fall Faster, Allies To Ignorance and The Affirmation. All of the epic tracks that run past the 8 minute mark.
These guys are hugely talented. If you want to hear something different in the realm of Death Metal and Post Metal but with a great progressive edge then you should give Cryptodira a chance. You will be majorly fucking surprised.
These guys sound like they go down a storm on the live stage. One minute your think it's quiet ambient based Post-Rock and it soon changes to crazy as fuck Death Metal.
It's expertly produced and played by all involved. So do yourself a favour and check this excellent band right now. You won't be sorry.
Recursions is available on BandCamp Pay Now Deal. So headover there and download this now. Excellent and Highly Recommended.
