Description/Reviews: 

The band repress nothing, by concentrating and coalescing their individual creative forces the band are able to subjugate generalised stylistic boundaries contrastively sitting somewhere between prog-rock, alt-rock and post rock. The result is a raw yet emotional album which is as dynamic as it is powerful. Throughout the album melodic dual vocals intertwine and coalesce with equally complimentary dark and atmospheric guitar exchanges, whilst chilling classical piano sections float underneath a frenetic back-bone of driving bass and thunderous beats, fills and crashing cymbals.
A wide range of influences can be heard throughout the album from tracks such as ‘Age of Terror’ and ‘Bones That Rock The Cradle’ which call to mind the post-rock meets progressive instrumentation and soft yet visceral vocals of artists such as Karnivool and Dredg, whereas other tracks such as ‘Permanent Revolution’ and ‘Ruins’ which blend structured atmospherics and power vocals conjure up memories of Oceansize. However, these influences never instigate notions of plagiarism, Halo Tora are able to take these moments and mould them in their own vision. (prescriptionmusicpruk.com)

Description/Reviews: 

Across its 77 minutes, Not of This World covers most of Jeremy’s styles, concentrating on his progressive and late-60s psychedelic rock styles. The CD features mostly long tracks, both vocal and instrumental, concluding with the 17-minute progressive highlight The Other World. The most pop-sounding material suggests an alternate universe where The Monkees got a Mellotron and started to go prog. (kinesiscd.com)

Description/Reviews: 

It’s a twisted, unsettling, tour-de-force that certainly deserves to break out from Australian shores to get some world-wide acclaim. Yes, there is a big Zappa/Zoyd influence but the 13 tracks on this record are as fresh and original sounding as anything. It’s a record that makes you excited, that shakes you by the shoulders, that slaps you on the mush and shouts: ”WAKE UP! THERE’S AN AUSSIE JAZZ-ROCK COMBO FALLING OUT OF YOUR SPEAKERS”

Description/Reviews: 

"Eadem Mutata Resurgo" is the second full-length album by this band from Madrid. It includes all new, mostly instrumental compositions performed and recorded by the combo of Lete, Tasio, Yul, and Klaus at Headroom studio. The album is conceived as a non-stop and psych-out transmission with the tracks organically flowing into one another. It's darker, more experimental and courageous work in comparison with the band's previous album. Yet it will fully satisfy lovers of motoric, groovy, rich and intricately textured trippy space-kraut-rock fueled by the themes of Death, Mysticism, Gnosticism, Time Travel, Drug Abuse, Spiritualism, Outer Space, Decadence, etc.
