Description/Reviews: 

Terminus plays a frenzied, technical and powerful style of music that blends elements of progressive rock, sludge and metal — think a combination of what Rush and Yes would sound like if they joined forces with Queens of the Stone Age, Sleep and Black Sabbath — and that translates to their studio work, as well.

Description/Reviews: 

Crest kicks off with lead single “Pollyanna”, premiered here last month and, like all lead singles really should, it serves as a neat introduction to the band in microcosm. Combining a relatively stompy chorus with more delicate verses, it is a pleasing slice of progressive and melodic alternative-metal. Covering similar territory to rising British progsters Sumer (who also operate with a three-guitar configuration), it’s possible to pick out elements of Deftones, Karnivool, Fair to Midland and – especially in Iam Cooperstein’s emotive vocals – Jane’s Addiction in their sound.
