Description/Reviews
As an instrumental trio, Titan to Tachyons are not constrained by such subgenre designations, and while certainly heavy, they venture quite far afield right from the start. Album opener “Morphing Machineminds” is a thoroughly mashed-up take on metal and jazz, with an unmistakable nod to the kind of psychedelia that informs their sci-fi inspirations. The riffs are heavy, but they swing, fusing the doomy groove of Black Sabbath’s “Into the Void” with Pink Floyd’s “Astronomy Domine.” But this quickly gives way to slinky avant-noir guitar work, before the heaviness returns just as swiftly with an oddly-timed sludge riff. This is challenging music, though a head-nodding groove is nevertheless omnipresent.
