Description/Reviews:

The EPQV series feature a capricious, free mixture of musical styles, genres, production values and aesthetics, which serve as narrative devices to highlight moments, characters & emotions across this highly unconventional sonic expedition.

Act 1 - "The Nest" introduces Teezûck, the strange son of a bird and a fish who lives depressed in the dark depths of the sea. One magical night he receives a stellar gift: an oneiric vision, a call to face his inner fears and seek his true destiny. Themes such as overprotection, toxic victimhood, altered states, maturity and the flow between divinity & delusion are explored within this eclectic, fantasy-fueled extravaganza.

For fans of Danny Elfman, Devin Townsend, Frank Zappa & Devil Doll

An artistic syncretism based on Christian & Buddhist texts through a Jungian approach of multicultural interweaving.

Description/Reviews:

Fungi are a Mexican band who take the alt-metal sounds of the late ’90s and early ’00s, and add a progressive edge. I’m not a fan of either label, but for what it’s worth, the sound of Into the Void is somewhere between the music described as grunge and what came after (conveniently enough described as post-grunge), but with the prog dial turned up. I’m often reminded quite a bit of Headspace or A Perfect Circle, for example. The sound is lush and melodic, and full of far more variety than expected. The band’s use of dynamics is awesome, with several beautiful, almost ambient, passages that provide a real sense of soundscape amongst the heaviness. Not that Fungi ever get that heavy, mind you. There are some really chunky riffs, and the music is undeniably energetic and punchy, but anyone who shies away from anything called prog metal need have no fear here.

Description/Reviews:

It’s a cracking concept album, with some wonderful tunes and outstanding vocals. I would guess that most people might make comparisons to Opeth, TesseracT, Gojira or Nevermore – to name just four groups of dissimilar enough sound to let you know that this band is not derivative of any other. ... Too often the complexities of prog metal are too mechanical and not organic enough for me to enjoy them. Restraint is also something often sorely lacking in prog metal, with far too much wanking, and not enough nuance. No such worries for The Advent Equation, where every drum fill, every keyboard frill, every guitar and bass riff feel natural and needed.

Description/Reviews: 

After working with producer and multi-instrumentalist Billy Sherwood for their first and second releases, the band ventured on self-production, and teamed up with singer-songwriter and The Pineapple Thief’s front man Bruce Soord for the mixing of the album, along with Steve Kitch (TPT’s keyboardist) for the mastering.
The band explains the concept of the album: “At the core of H+, lies transhumanism: the transcendence of our physiological, rational and emotional bearings. All of this leads to becoming more human.”
H+ is their most ambitious work to date. The central piece of the album is the 25-minute H+ Suite, featuring the definitive version of the awarded song life.exe, co-written with Serj Tankian.
