THE ARCHITECT

More prog metal tracks, heavy more or less heavy going in different, varied directions, which destabilize a little; heavy prog from the early 2000s. A new, current, progressive sound in the variation, with a haunting atmosphere, mechanical riffs, with incisive guitars and Simon's explosive drums. A much stronger SOUND OF CONTACT, direct, modern with electronics in the background on the bass, synths. A studio concept with two musicians who had fun, from the tonic 'eMolecule' to the fresh sound that makes you want to but frustrates with the following ones on a vein reminiscent of PORCUPINE TREE typed. Melodic priority on 'The Architect', 'Prison Planet' and 'Dosed' throughout the album which then suffers from this initial lack of tonicity which left us hoping for much more. Halfway through the album the atmosphere changes again with a sound calibrated on GENESIS 2nd and 3rd version; well-worked intros on 'Awaken', 'Beyond Belief', 'My You' and this progressive space which was a little lacking with a lack of break inside the songs. In short, a long, diversified album, offering a platform of what the prog metal of tomorrow may be. (3.75).
