“City Of The Sun” consists of five musically complex tracks, each distinctly different one from the other, and transcending several genres with their range and variety, but whose roots clearly lie within Classic Progressive Rock. What sets the band apart from many of the new arrivals on the scene is the sheer diversity of musical disciplines that the members bring with them. From classical orchestra to big band, metal to jazz and rock to electronic, Seven Impale have fused all their experience and influences and created a sound that is uniquely theirs.Media/Samples
Utilising elements normally found in the Metal genre “City Of The Sun” shows just how unafraid Seven Impale are to explore much harder soundscapes than one would normally expect from Progressive Rock, whilst the use of the saxophone, enables the band to showcase jazz elements in their music. There is no doubt at all that Seven Impale challenge the standard genre boundaries, in much the same way that Norwegian Shining and Jaga Jazzist have done before.

Probably the best prog album to be released in 2014! Can't wait for it's release!
ReplyDeleteAmazing high octane music in complex structures with a Motorpsycho and Discipline feel to it. At times I hear Thom Yorke, Frogg Cafe, King Crimson, Toby Drive and even Diagonal. But mostly I hear Motorspycho's "The Death-Defying Unicorn."
ReplyDeleteNice use of the sax! And, yes: One of the ten best albums of 2014!
