Hi everyone, I’m back with another album (of course). This one was recommended to me a few days ago by @vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net, and I’ve really been enjoying it!

If I had to describe how this album felt the first time I listened to it, I would say nostalgia. It really tickles my nu metal and 2000s alternative rock senses, in a good way. The guitar tone is really good, I’ve always been a fan of these kinds of tones. In addition to guitars, the vocals sound amazing. Not only do they get angelic (I love angelic vocals), but the vocalist does a lot of different things with their voice both pre-production and post-production. It’s also proggy, of course, and that’s what really makes this album for me. Yeah, nu metal and alternative rock could both be good, but add prog and it ascends.

This album has its heavy/harsh moments, its calm and melodic moments, and its proggy moments. I really enjoyed it, and hopefully you will too. For individual tracks on this album, check out Themata (this album in a nutshell), Cote (for 2000s nostalgia), Sewn and Silent (clean melodies), and Scarabs (for heavy proggy guitar goodness).

That’s going to be all, hope you enjoy, and thanks again for the rec vovchik_ilich!

P.S. If you don’t end up liking this album, just listen to “Omitted For Clarity” on loop
