Description/Reviews
This new Canadian band Mire is, from the very first track, a fan of Tool. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, even for those that dislike Tool. However, Mire does sound quite a bit like the famed prog metallers, and I think they are pretty proud of that fact. Their debut album "Inward/Outward" is an ode to Tool, but there is a bit more going on at times, too.
Mire has the signature sound down pat: the dark and heavy riffing, the kinetic instrumentals, the bouncing bass, the slightly abrasive edge, and the extremely complex time signatures. Heck, singer J.P. Lachapelle even sounds quite a bit like Maynard, possibly with a slightly rougher edge. So, if you are wondering what Mire sounds like, I guarantee that you already know. That aside, though, Mire has put together a good debut album. Sure, their influence is front and center, but I feel there are other influences at play, too, such as Audioslave on some of the soloing, A Perfect Circle in the softer moments, and Rage Against the Machine is some of the grooves
