Description/Reviews: 

Their sound is an interesting one, not changing a great deal over the course of the album, but bringing in influences from the progressive, alternative and even post- spectrums of heavy music, all to create something palpably atmospheric. Modern efforts from Katatonia and Anathema are the most immediate comparisons to leap to mind, or even Swallow the Sun during some of the heavier sections. It bears that same vaguely mournful quality, with just enough hints of something more stirring. Everything is wrapped up in a swirling, ethereal coating, like an ominous mist, gradually revealing more as the album is explored, and with occasional bursts of something brighter or heavier to puncture the gloomy malaise.

Description/Reviews: 

An album may be more than the sum of its parts, but especially in the case of music, the individual parts hold their own not insignificant place in the larger discussion as well. In regards to Sigma, these aforementioned parts are a set of progressive metal tracks that have a heavy emphasis on a grove-like tone that drones in a number of evocative ways, with a conceptual feel to many of them. Songs like “Collision” and the single “Shine” do a good job of delivering a clear drive and throughline to the music, whereas the lengthier ones (such as “Silence” and “Spiral”) highlight the more progressive aspects to Mother of Millions‘ sound.

Description/Reviews: 

The sound the band has created is hard to pigeonhole. It's certainly metallic and definitely progressive. Yet it doesn't sound like your average ProgMetal band... The 'Prog' categorisation is delivered through an ever-changing palette of time signatures, dynamics and pace. Despite their (relative) brevity, almost ever song has a mix of light and shade. Mother of Millions has an innate ability to write songs that shift in an instant, from almost extreme metal to whimsical folk. Some excellent use is made of ProgRock motifs, acoustic passages as well as traditional Mediterranean folk styles. A much more aggressive version of early Pain of Salvation could be one comparison. Sophisticated is the word.
