    OSI - Blood

    at sábado, enero 23, 2010



    2009. USA
    Progressive Metal


    OSI or Office of Strategic Influence is the superband led by Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos and ex Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore. The act is more of a side project where both get together and melt in the pot their style into the already trademark sound this band owns. Incisive Metal riffing and vast electronic backgrounds in an obscure atmosphere is what we hear from this band. The peculiar voice from Moore is also key to the group's original sound.

    Incubus - Look Alive (CD)

    at sábado, enero 09, 2010


    2007. USA
    Alternative Rock

    Calabasas (California) based band Incubus is an Alternative Rock band, tag that fits quite adjusted to this acclaimed band that has built its own unique style over the years. It is also a band that has massively evolved since it's origins, where a rastafari Brandon Boyd would lead an Alternative Funk Metal band to nowadays, since the band has already matured and sealed their style.

    2009. USA/Netherlands
    Progressive Metal/Fusion
    http://www.myspace.com/exivious


    Featuring musicians from both the best of past and present of Prog Metal (Cynic, Textures), Exivious is a superband playing Instrumental Prog Metal with a unique Fusion flavor on top of it. The project is quite recent and it comes to accomplish a vision that Cynic guitarist Tymon had several years ago in marrying these genres into one. Explosive, intense, mystic complex and precise it may be the door for a new genre in metal.

    MUTEMATH - MUTEMATH

    Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite

    at sábado, diciembre 12, 2009


    2000. USA
    Progressive Metal/Symphonic Metal


    Symphony X is a New Jersey based Prog Metal band featuring guitar virtuoso Michael Romeo and my personal favourite voice in modern metal, charismatic Russell Allen.


    They have a very clear sound statement towards Symphonic Progressive Metal with a dominant mythology thematic. As this two genres have always been two big in the Metal scene, Symphony X is probably the best exponent melting both in the pot into their baroque metal blast.

    This Will Destroy You - This Will Destroy You

    at domingo, diciembre 06, 2009



    2008. USA
    Post-Rock/Instrumental
    http://www.myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou


    Post-Rock is a genre that can be very uniform. There are zillions of bands out there and it takes patience to listen to such a massive amount of music of the style. Nevertheless from time to time you find original and outstanding bands like this one that make it totally worth it.


    This Will Destroy You is an american quartet playing instrumental very cinematic and visual post-rock basing their sound in polished clean reverb guitars melodies that would anesthetize a starving gorilla. To this trademark guitar work they add on background soundscapes (sometimes also guitars, with an impressive usage of ebow) and solid drumming when neccessary, sometimes electronic.



    Alter Bridge - Live From Amsterdam

    at jueves, diciembre 03, 2009



    2009. USA
    Alternative Rock/Metal
    http://www.myspace.com/alterbridge


    It was 2004 when former Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti deserved a new challenge after years of shred and talent deprival. Him with two former Creed colleagues Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips would join and find in Myles Kennedy the perfect fit singer to complete Alter Bridge. This amazing collision of talents is to date probably the best exponent of Alternative Rock of our time.

    http://www.myspace.com/themayanfactor


    Forget about the tags I've just put above and let me give a more informal yet precise band classification. The Mayan Factor is Alternative Acoustic Tribal Rock. All of that in a kind of obscure, hauntingly intense mood.

    The Dear Hunter is a project led by talented Casey Crescenzo. The band's sound is a unique combination (very difficult to describe, though very easy to identify) of alternative and progressive rock, with a very wide instrumentation, outstanding voicing and use of harmony, and somewhat visual and theatrical.

    at domingo, noviembre 22, 2009

    Dredg is an interesting very melodic prog/alternative rock band from California, USA. They have an amazing ability to write songs and take them to life through the intelligent use of melody. Very good grooving and mind-blowing guitarwork by both singer Gavin Hayes and guitarist Mark Engles (including lap-steel guitar) make the footprint of the band.
