Description/Reviews
The overall sound is less progressive and more in the metal category. For someone who listens to a lot of progressive music I think that this has served the album well. There are occasions like Lie In Wait, where the band introduce the album with synths and programmed drums that are reminiscent of many tired and dated Dream Theater introductions.
However, Collibus have reduced the synth and keyboard parts to a secondary role. It brings a fresh organic approach to the progressive metal genre that, let’s face it, has been the same for about a decade. It’s great to hear Collibus attempt to be different, and my do they pull it off.
