Description/Reviews:
We are treated to an amalgam of genres and genre details mixed together in quite the exotic stew here. Traces of alternative rock and indie rock are paired off with bombastic, dramatic arrangements that has a wee bit of Muse and a slight shade of Coheed and Cambria to them, nods are given in the direction of Rush her and there as well as a likely one off wink in the direction of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris. Stoner rock, grunge and stoner metal driven creations are thrown into the mix and the blender, but often with alterations in pace, intensity and arrangement details and structures closer tied in to progressive rock. Typical progressive metal arrangements are produced here and there, with guitars and keyboards crafting majestic, swooping passages, but explored and conveyed in a less than typical manner. Token post-rock style textured instrument details are used as a light flavoring on occasion, and there's also a small handful of ambient mood pieces at hand here, with noise and avant oriented details added as fleeting presences.
